Libyan Fighters Capture Prominent Gaddafi Son, Former Intelligence Chief

HeadlineNov 21, 2011

Fighters in Libya have captured one of Muammar Gaddafi’s most prominent sons, as well as the deposed leader’s former intelligence chief, Abdullah Senussi, who was taken into custody on Sunday. Senussi’s capture came one day after fighters in the town of Zintan took Gaddafi’s son Saif al-Islam into custody. While both men are wanted by the International Criminal Court, leaders in Zintan have refused to release Gaddafi’s son until a new government is established and working court system is put in place. They maintain that their prisoner must be tried in Libya.
