Libyan Fighters Capture Prominent Gaddafi Son, Former Intelligence Chief 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------



Fighters in Libya have captured one of Muammar Gaddafi’s most
prominent sons, as well as the deposed leader’s former intelligence
chief, Abdullah Senussi, who was taken into custody on Sunday.
Senussi’s capture came one day after fighters in the town of Zintan
took Gaddafi’s son Seif al-Islam into custody. While both men are
wanted by the International Criminal Court, leaders in Zintan have
refused to release Gaddafi’s son until a new government is established
and working court system is put in place. They maintain that their
prisoner must be tried in Libya.
