Muammar Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam appeared in a court on Thursday for the first time since his capture more than a year ago, Libya's public prosecutor's office said.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) again rejected on Wednesday attempts by Libya to delay handing over one of former Dictator Moammar Gaddafi's sons, who is wanted for trial. Judges unanimously dismissed Libya's latest appeal against the court's order to surrender Seif al-Islam Gaddafi for trial on charges of murdering and persecuting civilian...

British spy agency MI6 played a key role in the capture of Saif al-Islam, son of slain Libyan dictator Moammar Gaddafi, a media report said. The top-secret 25 million pound mission, dubbed Operation X, used the latest hi-tech electronic intelligence gadgets to bug his phones and finally lead to the capture of the 39-year-old in the Libyan desert la...

Moammar Gaddafi's son Seif al-Islam - the only member of the ousted ruling family to remain at large - was captured as he travelled with aides in a convoy in Libya's southern desert, Libyan officials said Saturday. Thunderous celebratory gunfire shook the Libyan capital as the news spread.

A fuel tank exploded in Moammar Gaddafi's hometown Sirte killing more than 100 people less than a week after the deposed despot was captured and killed there, a military commander said on Tuesday.

Libya's interim rulers declared the country liberated on Sunday after an 8-month civil war, launching the oil-rich nation on what is meant to be a two-year transition to democracy. But they laid out plans with an Islamist tone that could rattle their Western backers. The circumstances of Gaddafi's death remain unclear. In separate accounts late Su...

The hometown of Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi fell today as the last vestige of control for the man once hailed as the "king of kings of Africa" came to an end. And officials in the transitional government say Gaddafi, who has been in hiding since rebels seized control of Tripoli, was captured or killed.

The head of the Libyan military council said that Col. Moammar el-Gaddafi was killed Thursday as fighters battling the vestiges of his fallen regime wrested control of his hometown of Sirte after a prolonged struggle. Al-Jazeera television showed what it said was Colonel Gaddafi's corpse as Libyans rejoiced.

Anti-Gaddafi forces overran Sirte's port on Tuesday, but in the other stronghold of supporters of the ousted Libyan leader, the new regime's fighters were beaten back by fierce resistance.

Libyan fighters have surrounded ousted dictator Muammar Gaddafi, and it is only a matter of time until he is captured or killed, a spokesman for Tripoli's new military council said on Wednesday.

Libyan rebels on Sunday rejected an offer by Muammar Gaddafi to negotiate and said they have captured the eastern town of Bin Jawwad, forcing regime loyalists to flee after days of fighting.

Libyan rebels closed in on Moammar Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte from both east and west today, a senior military commander said, as the insurgents scrambled to restore essential services to Tripoli. Rebel forces moved to within 30 kilometres of Sirte from the west and captured Bin Jawad 100 kilometres to the east, the rebel commander in Misrata, Moh...
