Libyans fete Gaddafi son's capture

Muammar Gaddafi’s former heir apparent Seif al-Islam has been captured by revolutionary fighters in the southern desert just over a month after his father was killed, setting off joyous celebrations across Libya and closing the door on the possibility that the fugitive son could stoke further insurrection.

Seif al-Islam – who has undergone a transformation from a voice of reform in an eccentric and reviled regime to one of Interpol’s most-wanted – now faces the prospect of trial before an international or Libyan court to answer for the alleged crimes of his late father’s four-decade rule over the oil-rich North African nation.
