Beirut, Aug 14 (AP) Libya's judicial authorities have formally asked Lebanon to release one of the late dictator Moammar Gadhafi's sons, held without charges in Lebanon since 2015 because of his deteriorating health, officials said Monday. The health of Hannibal Gadhafi has been deteriorating since he went on hunger strike on June 3, to protest his detention without trial. According to two Lebanese judicial officials, Libya's prosecutor general Al-Sediq al-Sour, sent a request earlier this month to his Lebanese counterpart, Ghassan Oueidat, regarding Hannibal Gadhafi. The cleric's family believes he may still be alive in a Libyan prison, though most Lebanese presume al-Sadr is dead. Most of al-Sadr's followers are convinced that Moammar Gadhafi ordered al-Sadr killed in a dispute over Libyan payments to Lebanese militias.
