   In this March 10, 2011 file photo, Seif al-Islam Gadhafi gestures as he
   speaks to supporters and the media in Tripoli, Libya.

   Informal talks are underway between a fugitive son of the late Libyan
   leader Moammar Gadhafi and the International Criminal Court.
   Seif al-Islam Gadhafi is wanted by the ICC for alleged crimes against
   humanity. He is accused of killing civilian protesters during the
   uprising against his father's regime.
   ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo says intermediaries have been in
   touch with Seif al-Islam Gadhafi to make sure he will receive a fair
   trial. On Saturday, Reuters news quoted the prosecutor as saying Seif
   al-Islam had told intermediaries that he is innocent of the charges.
   Seif al-Islam is believed to be traveling through the Sahara to a
   neighboring African country.
   Meanwhile, NATO is preparing to wrap up its seven-month-old Libya
   mission on Monday.
   NATO ministers approved a resolution, Friday, that will terminate the
   alliance's air campaign. NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the
   alliance's "military job is now done" and NATO will conclude the
   mission in a "considered and controlled manner."
   NATO made its decision a day after the U.N. Security Council voted to
   cancel its mandate that established the mission.
