Gaddafi’s son Saif al-Islam killed in deadly attack at Zintan home
His French lawyer, Marcel Ceccaldi, told AFP that Saif al-Islam, 53, was killed on Tuesday afternoon after gunmen stormed his home in Zintan, western Libya.
“He was killed today at 2:00 pm (1200 GMT) in his home by a four-man commando,” Ceccaldi said.

Earlier, announcements posted on Facebook by Saif al-Islam’s lawyer Khaled al-Zaidi and political adviser Abdulla Othman said he had been killed, without giving immediate details. Othman later told Libyan media that armed men attacked Gaddafi inside his residence in Zintan, a town about 136 kilometres southwest of Tripoli.

In a subsequent statement, his political team said “four masked men” forced their way into the house, disabled security cameras and carried out what it described as a “cowardly and treacherous assassination”.
