Gaddafi's Son Saif Is Sentenced To Death

The only surviving son of former Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi has been sentenced to death by a Libyan court.Saif al Islam Gaddafi was sentenced in absentia in Tripoli over killings during the country's 2011 uprising.
He is being held in the southwestern town of Zintan by a militia gorup who have refused to hand him over to the central government.
Eight others - including former Libyan spy chief Abdullah al Senussi - were also sentenced to death by the court.
Saif Gaddafi is wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of crimes against humanity as well.
Educated at the London School of Economics, he was the most high-profile of Colonel Gaddafi's eight children.
He was once considered Libya's de-facto prime minister and tipped by Western governments to lead the country towards democracy.
But he refused to abandon his father when protests erupted in several Libyan cities in early 2011.
Colonel Gaddafi was captured and killed by rebel fighters in October 2011.
A month later, Saif was found by fighters from the Zintan brigade trying to cross into Niger.
