A Libyan court sentenced Muammar Gaddafi’s most prominent son, Saif al-Islam, and eight others to death over war crimes including killings of protesters during the 2011 revolution that ended his father’s rule.

THE capture of Muammar Gaddafi’s son Saif al-Islam and the former spymaster Abdullah Senussi marks the end of a regime that terrorised Libya for decades.

MUAMMAR Gaddafi’s fugitive son Saif al-Islam and former intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi wish to hand themselves in to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, a senior Libyan military official with the National Transitional Council (NTC) said last night.
