The Office of the Attorney General announced that the body of Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi had been handed over to members of his tribe at the request of his family, following the completion of the necessary procedures. In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Office confirmed the killing of Saif Al-Islam Muammar Gaddafi after he was shot. Saif Gaddafi was assassinated on Tuesday at a "rest house" he frequented in the city of Zintan by unidentified gunmen. Local sources said the assailants infiltrated the residence after disabling surveillance cameras and opened fire on Gaddafi in his bedroom. Saif Gaddafi’s French lawyer, Marcel Ceccaldi, told Agence France-Presse that his client was killed on Tuesday by a four-man commando unit at his home in Zintan.
