Has Gaddafi's playboy son been captured? Confusion as revolutionary forces close in on Mutassim

Confusion has been growing in Libya over reports that Colonel Gaddafi’s son Mutassim was captured trying to flee the ousted leader’s besieged home city of Sirte.
In what would be a propaganda coup for the rebel forces, the playboy - an inveterate womaniser and his father’s national security advisor - was reportedly seized after a four-hour gun battle.
Officials said they detained a group of fighters who were loyal to him, with sources claiming that Mutassim had been caught trying to flee Sirte in a car with a family.
But despite the claims, which triggered off wild celebrations in Tripoli, a spokesman for the National Transitional Council in the eastern city of Benghazi said his office had 'no confirmation that Mutassim Gaddafi has been captured'.
If the reports turn out to be true, then it would make him the only member of the Gaddafi family to have been captured so far.

Gaddafi’s daughter Aisha, her brothers Hannibal and Mohammed, their mother Safi and several other family members fled to Algeria in August and have been there since. Another son, Saadi, is in Niger.
Gaddafi’s fifth son, Mutassim enjoyed under his father's leadership a notoriously lavish lifestyle that was far removed from the straitened circumstances of most Libyans.

Mutassim’s ex-girlfriend, Dutch glamour model Talitha van Zion, recently told how each Christmas he would fly himself and an entourage to the Caribbean island of St Barts in his private Boeing.
He paid for singers such as Beyonce and Mariah Carey to sing at the Barts parties, which were attended by guests such as Jon Bon Jovi, Lindsay Lohan and rapper Jay-Z.
