Killed Libyan dictator Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s eldest and favourite son, Saif al-Islam, has been captured close to Tripoli after suffering critical injuries in a bombing raid, officials have claimed.
According to the rebels, Gaddafi’s once heir-apparent son fled Sirte, where his father and brother Mutassim was killed yesterday, and was captured in Zlitan, 99 miles from Tripoli, while receiving treatment for his injuries, the Daily Mail reports.
Reports suggest that 39-year-old Saif had lost both of his arms after an explosion during clashes.
Following the uprising in Libya, the issue of Saif getting a doctorate degree from the London School of Economics (LSE) through lobbying had led to the resignation of the esteemed institute’s director Howard Davies.
