Ex-Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi's son shot dead at home by armed gang
India Today
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi's lawyer said that a "four-man commando" unit carried out an "assassination" at his residence in Zintan, a city in western Libya.
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi and once widely seen as his late father’s heir apparent, was shot dead during a “direct confrontation” with four gunmen who stormed his home, his office has confirmed.
The 53-year-old’s death was confirmed on Tuesday by the head of his political office.
His lawyer told the AFP news agency that a “four-man commando” unit carried out an "assassination" at his residence in Zintan, a city in western Libya.
However, no details were provided about who may have ordered the killing or the motive behind the armed men storming his home.
Conflicting accounts have also surfaced, with Saif al-Islam’s sister telling Libyan television that he died near the country’s border with Algeria.
Saif al-Islam’s life mirrored Libya’s turbulent recent history. Once groomed as his father’s successor and long regarded as one of the most influential figures in the oil-rich North African state, he fell into obscurity after the 2011 uprising that toppled his father’s four-decade rule.
