Gaddafi son Saif al-Islam 'may be trying to flee Libya'

LONDON. November 3. KAZINFORM The International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor says Muammar Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam may be trying to flee Libya with help from mercenaries; Kazinform refers to BBC.

In a statement to the UN Security Council, Luis Moreno-Ocampo called on other countries to disrupt such plans.

The court has been trying to negotiate the surrender of the 39-year-old, who is wanted for war crimes.

Mr Ocampo also said they were examining allegations against Nato and interim forces, as well as pro-Gaddafi troops.

He said they would examine alleged crimes by all sides "impartially and independently".

Saif al-Islam, who was once the presumed successor to the former Libyan leader, has been in hiding for months.

The ICC have been holding talks with intermediaries to secure his arrest, following the death of his father on 20 October; Kazinform cites BBC.
