, said he was mourning Saif al Islam Gaddafi after reports spread that he had been killed.
Early accounts said he was shot in the yard of his home and that the assailants escaped, with initial claims blaming the 444th Brigade. The brigade later denied any role, saying it has no presence in Zintan and no connection to the clashes.
Other reports now point to forces linked to Khalifa Haftar’s UAE backed Libyan National Army, while separate Arabic accounts say he was killed during clashes with an elite unit affiliated with the General Command following an attempted arrest.
Additional reports place the incident in the Hamadah desert in the Zintan area, during clashes that lasted through the afternoon, with claims that he fought until the end.
Sources also say there had been a previous attempt on his life, and that Ajmi Al Atiri and his son were injured. The circumstances remain unclear, with conflicting accounts and no independent confirmation.

Gaddafi's son's cousin confirmed his death
Ahmed Gaddafi, the cousin of Libyan politician Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, confirmed his death. He announced this on February 3 on the social media site X.
"Dr. Seif's last voice message was sent a day ago... He died for you, let his blood not be shed in vain," Ahmed Gaddafi wrote.
| Possibly all his degrees were purchased (BS in either engineer or architecture, even the school was not sure, an MBA acquired along with international contacts in Vienna, then a PhD in something very wordy from the London School of Economics, ghost written by the Monitor Group) as necessary accessories for the circles he moved in. It was good ol’ Sword of Islam Khadaffy’s job to be handsome and charming, dear Reader, and nobody wa so rude as to say he was not. |
The Libyan portal Abaad News reported that the son of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, 53-year-old Saif al-Islam, was killed in clashes south of Tripoli. Al Hadath TV, citing sources close to the Gaddafi family, claims that al-Islam was fatally wounded in an attack near his residence in Ez-Zintan. There were four attackers, all of whom fled the scene.
| …as if they’d never been, according to professional informant Mahmoud the Weasel… |
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi was born on June 25, 1972, and was the second son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, who was killed in the fall of 2011.| Killed rather horribly. One has the impression Saif never really recovered from the shock, much like the French aristos during their Revolution. The Times of Israel adds: |
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.
Khaled al-Zaidi, a lawyer for Seif al-Islam, confirmed his death on Facebook, without providing details.
Abdullah Othman Abdurrahim, who represented Gaddafi in the UN-brokered political dialogue that aimed to resolve Libya’s long-running conflict, also announced his death on Facebook.
