Report: Gaddafi's Wife, Daughter Flee Libya 
--------------------------------------------



The wife and daughter of Libyan leader Col. Muammar Gaddafi have
reportedly fled to Tunisia amidst the ongoing NATO bombing. According to
Reuters, the two have taken refuge on a southern Tunisian island. The
International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo,
indicted Gaddafi and two others for crimes against humanity this week.
On Wednesday, Moreno-Ocampo said Libyan officials could face charges for
following Gaddafi's orders.

Luis Moreno-Ocampo: "Gaddafi himself is committing the crimes, they
cannot follow orders of Gaddafi. If they follow orders from Gaddafi,
they could be prosecuted, that has to be very clear. Due obedience is
not an excuse to commit the crimes. They have no due obedience to commit
crimes and no due obedience to cover up the crimes."
