Berlusconi: Gaddafi's son not dead

Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi cast doubt tonight on Libyan reports that Muammar Gaddafi’s youngest son and three grandchildren were killed in an April 30 Nato air strike, saying coalition forces believed the claim to be “propaganda”.

Mr Berlusconi told a late-night talk show that based on intelligence services, Saif al-Arab was not in Libya, but in another country. He did not elaborate.
