He appeared on the room all journalist use every day. We knew something was up: lights in the corridor were turned off and screens erected. But that happens for other VIPs too. No one expected the Colonel though. We think he came in through an underground car park. His compound is just 1km away.

I am kicked out of the room at the Rixos Hotel where Col Gaddafi appeared. Not quite sure why! What the man who kicked me out didnt know is that I had already managed one 'take' of the video... see it after this.

Colonel Gaddafi apparently held a meeting in the hotel where International journalists stay in Tripoli. None of us saw him. Why? Two possibilities....

TRIPOLI, May 12 (Reuters) - Libyan state television showed footage of Muammar Gaddafi meeting officials in a Tripoli hotel, ending nearly two weeks of doubt over his fate since a NATO air strike killed his son.

"We tell the world these are the representatives of the Libyan tribes," said Gaddafi, pointing to the officials and naming a few of them.

"You will be victorious," an old man told Gaddafi, referring to the three-month-old revolt in the North African country against the Libyan leader's 41 years of rule.

...

Reuters journalists based at the same hotel said some rooms had been sealed off during the day for an event, but they had not seen Gaddafi. In the past he has made high-profile entrances accompanied by a large staff of minders and aides.
