Cairo: Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, the son and one-time heir apparent of Libya's late dictator Moammar Gadhafi, was killed in the northern African country, Libyan officials said on Tuesday. Abdurrahim did not provide further details, but Libyan news outlet Fawasel Media cited him as saying that armed men killed Seif al-Islam in his home. Born in June 1972 in Tripoli, Seif al-Islam was the second-born son of the longtime dictator. Seif al-Islam was captured by fighters Zintan late in 2011 while attempting to flee to neighbouring Niger. The fighters released him in June 2017 after one of Libya's rival governments granted him amnesty.
