Libya says Gadhafi's son to be tried at home

ZINTAN. November 21. KAZINFORM The Libyan information minister says Muammar Gadhafi's son and one-time heir apparent will be tried at home and will not be handed over to the International Criminal Court in The Hague; Kazinform refers to China Daily.

Mahmoud Shammam says Libya's National Transitional Council will discuss its decision with the ICC's chief prosecutor when he visits Libya on Monday. Seif al-Islam Gadhafi is wanted by the ICC on charges of crimes against humanity.

But Shammam said on Sunday that it would only be fair for Libyans to try Seif al-Islam at home where he "committed crimes against Libyan people."

Seif al-Islam was captured in the desert of southern Libya on Saturday; Kazinform cites China Daily.
