Colonel gaddafi how many children

Local people jostled around the corpse, laid on blankets on the floor and covered up to the waist by a blue plastic sheet, to take pictures on their cell phones. A doctor who examined his body said he had apparently died after his father.

As a boy he was wounded in a U. However, a Syrian-based television station that supported Gaddafi confirmed earlier this month that he had died in fighting southeast of Tripoli on August President Ronald Reagan. The spoilt son of an indulgent father, he studied in Germany and was reported to have been involved in a fight at a Munich nightclub with a bouncer who tried to throw out his female companion after she began to undress on the dance floor.

The remaining children appear to be safe for the moment at least in neighboring countries. Saadi fled to Niger in September, where the government has said he would not be extradited if there was a possibility he would not get a fair trial or risked getting the death penalty.

Three of the dictator's seven sons were killed, but the fate of Saif al-Islam, whose name means "sword of Islam" was unknown. He was captured by a Libyan militia in November , days after his father was killed. Four years later, a Tripoli court sentenced him in absentia to death for crimes committed during the revolt. Until the interview, Saif al-Islam had not been seen or heard from since June , when he appeared via video link from Zintan during his trial by the Tripoli court.

Saif al-Islam said in the interview that he was a free man organising a political return, and that his former captors "are now my friends". In recent years Libya has been split between two rival administrations backed by foreign forces and countless militias. The security situation has been slowly improving since. A provisional government was agreed in March, and general elections are expected to take place on December Any possible return by Saif al-Islam to Libyan politics would face hurdles, including his conviction by the Tripoli court and the ICC warrant for his arrest.

Saif al-Islam said "he was confident that these legal issues could be negotiated away if a majority of the Libyan people choose him as their leader".

The paper quoted him as saying: "I've been away from the Libyan people for 10 years. You need to come back slowly, slowly. Like a striptease. Seif al-Islam, the one-time heir apparent to his father, has been in Libya since his release from detention in Another son, Hannibal, is reportedly detained in Lebanon. The mother, a sister and two brothers were granted asylum in Oman in and moved there from Algeria. He played for several Libyan teams — and for an Italian team until he failed a drug test.

In one case, security forces opened fire on fans at a match attended by al-Saadi, killing a number of people in murky circumstances. Following his extradition, prosecutors in Libya said he faced charges in connection to abductions and rapes during the uprising, misuse of his post and the killing of al-Riyani. The elder Gaddafi ruled Libya with an eccentric brutality for nearly 42 years before he was ousted by an uprising in August He was captured and killed two months later.
