| Vast tunnel network could make Col Gaddafi harder to find |
| 2011-08-23 |
| Gaddafi oversaw the construction of hundreds of miles of tunnels and bomb proof bunkers that connect many of his compounds and key buildings. Criss-crossing beneath Tripoli, Gaddafi and his trusted aides were able to move around the city undetected even from the air. A vast complex of tunnels stretches out under the desert and connects many of Libya's key towns and cities. In unrelated news, the 9th Iranian Tunnelling Symposium is scheduled for November 2011. |

| #4 Annoymoose the story gets better: The SECRET MOTIVE: why the UN declared war on Libya. DESTABILIZATION. They did NOT attack Gaddafi, They attacked Africa’s Fresh Water Supply. “The West refuses to recognize that a small country, with a population no more than four million, can construct anything so large without borrowing a single cent from the international banks.” It goes on to say future wars will be over water in the area. http://seeker401.wordpress.com/2011/03/23/libyas-great-manmade-river-is-this-the-real-reason-to-attack/ |

| #3 When they say tunnels, they probably mean serious tunnels. Qaddafi created the "Great Manmade River" project that is truly immense. As great irony, the original design was by Brown & Root, subsidiary of Halliburton. So you know it is impressive. Parts of the underground are so immense that there was concern that Libya and Egypt, a partner in the deal, could have a complete nuclear complex underground, that could create all stages of a nuclear program without detection. |
