De facto Libyan Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril makes a surprise visit to Baghdad. He had updates for the Iraqi Foreign Minister on the situation in Libya. Meanwhile the manhunt for Gaddafi continues.

Libya's de facto prime minister, Mahmoud Jibril, says the deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi is hiding in southern Libya under the protection of tribes, crossing occasionally into Niger.

But he says the transitional government forces expect to pinpoint his whereabouts soon.

Gaddafi has been on the run since Libya's National Transitional Council, or NTC took the capital Tripoli in August, and has eluded capture despite several leads to his location.

Libya's De Facto prime minister, Mahmoud Jibril, speaks on his visit to Baghdad:

[Mahmoud Jibril, Libya's De Facto Prime Minister]:
"The latest report is that he is in southern Libya under the protection of the Tuareg tribe, and from time to time crosses into Niger. Security is the most important thing for him. To specify where he is exactly even for ten hours is very difficult. I hope within the coming days we will be able to confirm where he is located exactly."

Jibril says he was in Iraq to discuss re-establishing diplomatic relations between Tripoli and Baghdad and to ask for the fellow OPEC country's help in oil development.

The NTC has mounted a manhunt for Gaddafi, focusing on the Sahara desert near the borders with Niger and Algeria.
