The late Libyan dictator Moammar Qaddafi’s cousin is reportedly seeking to capitalize on the chaotic security conditions in Libya during the possible elections next year by defeating the Western-backed government.
Moammar Qaddafi’s son Saif al-Islam, recently released from half a decade of captivity by a Libyan militia group, has hit a major stumbling block in his bid to become a unifying figure for war-torn Libya: the International Criminal Court wants him arrested and hauled before a war crimes trial in the Hague.
Saif al-Islam Qaddafi, son of slain Libyan dictator Moammar Qaddafi, was set free on Sunday by the Libyan militia group that has imprisoned him since 2011.
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the most prominent son of late dictator Muammar Gaddafi, has been released from his detention in Libya and is living peacefully in the city of Zintan, his attorney has confirmed.
A video of unknown origin has surfaced, apparently showing guards in Tripoli, Libya, beating and berating Saadi Gaddafi, one of the many sons of late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi. Saadi Gaddafi is being tried for the killing of a football player.
