Muammar Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam has been captured in the Libyan desert by fighters who vowed to hold him in the mountain town of Zintan until there was a government to hand him over to.
Saif al-Islam told Reuters that he was okay and that his hand was bandaged due to wounds sustained in a NATO air strike a month ago. Asked by Reuters on the Soviet-made cargo plane which flew him to the town of Zintan if he was feeling all right, Gaddafi said simply: "Yes."
Saif al-Islam was taken without firing a shot, was arrested overnight, officials said, and he was not injured during his seizure -- unlike his father, who was killed a month ago on Sunday after being captured in his home town.
Saif al-Islam told Reuters that he was okay and that his hand was bandaged due to wounds sustained in a NATO air strike a month ago. Asked by Reuters on the Soviet-made cargo plane which flew him to the town of Zintan if he was feeling all right, Gaddafi said simply: "Yes."
The Zintan fighters, who make up one of the powerful militia factions holding ultimate power in a country still without a government, said they planned to keep him in Zintan, until they could hand him over to the authorities.

Prime minister-designate Abdurrahim El-Keib is scheduled to form a government by Tuesday, and the fate of Saif al-Islam will be an early test of its authority. Libyans want to try him at home before, possibly, handing him over to the International Criminal Court which accuses him of crimes against humanity.

The European Union urged Libyan authorities to ensure Saif al-Islam was brought to justice in cooperation with the ICC whose prosecutor is heading for Libya soon to discuss where and how the legal process will take place.

Libyans believe Saif al-Islam holds the keys in his head to billions of dollars of public money amassed by the Gaddafi family but when captured, his captors said, they found only a few thousand dollars and a cache of rifles in seized vehicles.

Ammar told Reuters that his unit of 15 men in three vehicles, acting on a tip-off about a possible high-profile fugitive had intercepted two cars carrying Gaddafi and four others in the desert about 70 km (40 miles) from the small oil town of Obari at about 1:30 a.m. (6:30 p.m. EST on Friday).

  • لعل اللي ما داق طعم السلطة و الحكم لا يفهم لماذا هؤلاء الزعماء و ابنائهم مستعدون لابادة شعوبهم من اجلها ... سبحان الله ... لو كانوا يحكمون بالعدل و الانصاف لتخلوا عنها لأنها مسؤولية عظيمة يصعب تحملها ... و لكن الحكم عند الزعماء العرب هو امتلاك البلاد و العباد من دون محاسبة او حساب ... حتى اصبح كل قائد عربي مقتنع انه إلاه و ليس فقط ملك او رئيس او حاكم

    انت يا اخي نازل فيها شعوب وحكام وعدل وانصاف وبلاد وعباد .. يعني قطر ولا عمان ولا السعودية محكومة على المسطرة : هذا الاسبوع سقط متظاهرين من منكوبي زلزال تركيا احتجاجا على الاهمال والتقصير .. وهاجم متظاهرون اتراك المستشفى الذي يأوي الجرحى الليبيين وتطور الامر الى الطعن بالخناجر والسكاكين للحرس والبعثة الليبية , وكل بلد فيها مجموعة من هؤلاء وهم دائمي التذمر والاحتجاج ومطالبهم ليست ملحة , بل يحسبون نفسهم ثوار ويطالبون بخدمة 5 نجوم .. ما حدث في ليبيا مسخ وتأييده هو الممسوخ في ثقافتنا

  • @zaqura1001 من طرائف المجانين في السلطة ان ملك فرنسي على ما اظن كان بحتضر و الشعب حول القصر حزين عليه و يدعون له ,,, فواحد من اللي حولين الملك عايز يرفع من معنويات الملك فقله هذا هو شعبك اتى ليودعك ... فرد الملك ليش الشعب وين عايز يروح .... ههههه ماهو خاطر على باله حتى انو رح يفارق ملكه بالموت ... هدا نفس حال من تتباكى عليهم

  • @sadmad85

    يا اخي لا تأخذها شخصية فالسعودية من افضل انظمة الحكم العربية ونظام الحكم العربي افضل من الغربي , يوم تجميد عضوية سوريا في كل فضائية وكل مطبوعة غربية "نادي الطغاة يطرد عضو آخر" فالغرب وامتطاءه لقطر والجزيرة ينظرون لنا كلاهثين من المهد الى اللحد لنصلهم ولن نصلهم ولاحظ اصدروا القرار واقاموا الافراح والليالي الملاح وكأنهم حرروا فلسطين وبعد ان طارت السكرة آخر الليل كل ما يصدر عنهم تصفيق لتركيا واوروبا وامريكا لدخول الملعب وهؤلاء يدخلون لمصالحهم ومنفعتهم فقط فلسنا منافسين ولا متساويين معهم
