Calls for revenge as Gaddafi’s son buried

MOURNERS called for revenge as some 2,000 people in the Libyan capital greeted a funeral procession carrying Muammar Gaddafi’s son, who was killed in a NATO airstrike.

The crowd jostled to get close to Saif al-Arab’s coffin as it was taken out of a black hearse and placed near a cemetery in Tripoli. Some people prayed, some flashed victory signs and others vowed for revenge.

“Revenge, revenge for you Libya,” shouted the crowd around the coffin, which was draped in the green Libyan flag and was topped with a wreath of flowers. “We demand revenge for our martyrs.”
