Saif al-Islam Gaddafi has been killed

SUMMARY

Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, son of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, has reportedly been killed, according to sources close to the family and his lawyer. The circumstances of his death remain unclear.

Saif was known for his role in shaping Libya's policy before 2011, but his public presence diminished over the years. In 2015, he was sentenced to death in absentia for suppressing protests during the 2011 revolution.

He also faced charges from the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. In 2021, he attempted to run for president, but the election was canceled due to political issues.
