Libya's rebel fighters breached Muammar al-Qaddafi's compound at Bab al-Azizya on Tuesday. Though the fortified area was described by rebel leaders as the colonel's last holdout, there is, as yet, no sign of him (or much of his family). So where did he go? There are reports of a network of underground tunnels built beneath Tripoli during the 1980s after the U.S. attacks, which could make it difficult for the rebels to track Qaddafi down, or perhaps even allow him to escape. But Qaddafi is hardly the first leader with an elaborate plan to go to ground when the going gets tough.
