Will Qaddafi flee to his best friend in Italy?

The Libya rebels, the Transitional National Council, have made their way to Col. Muammar Qaddafi’s Tripoli. Qaddafi is still on the run. But what does this mean for Italy that their good friend is on the run. Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and it's foreign minister Franco Frattini were reluctant to denounce Qaddafi behaviors, in killing his people, because of their business interest in Libya.

In addition, a treaty between Libya and Italy to prevent fleeing Libyan from entering Italy could be in jeopardy. It was a deal spun as reparation of billions of dollars to Libya but was more a deal to prevent Italy from becoming black by turning fleeing Libyans back to Libya.

Italy has served as a refuge for the former number two man of Qaddafi.

The former number two of the Libyan regime Abdessalem Jallud, escaped Friday from Tripoli, is currently in Italy. He said the defense minister, Ignazio La Russa told reporters. "What I can confirm is that actually the number two of Gaddafi's regime is in Italy," said La Russa told reporters in Catania. Former number two in the Libyan regime, fell out of favor in the mid nineties, Jallud joined the opposition two days ago after managing to escape from the Libyan capital.

Arrived with his family in Tunisia, was broken yesterday morning to Italy, as announced by Tunisian officials. In an interview broadcast today by the Arab satellite TV al-Jazeera, has called on the tribes of Jallud Colonel Muammar Gaddafi to "ignore this tyrant." The former right arm of the Libyan leader also called on the people of Tripoli to join the opposition. The issuer did not provide any indication of where he was Jallud. (with source AFP)

So will Italy hear their good friend Qaddafi banging on their door but refuse to answer?
