Gaddafi's son extradited from Niger to Libya


London, March 6 (IANS): Former leader Muammar Gaddafi's son Saadi has been extradited from Niger and is now in custody in Tripoli, the Libyan government said Thursday.

"The Libyan government today received Saadi Gaddafi and he arrived in Tripoli," BBC quoted the Libyan government as saying early Thursday.

The 40-year-old is accused of shooting protestors and other crimes committed during his father's rule. He had fled after his father was killed during the 2011 revolution.

Saadi, one of Mummar Gaddafi's seven sons, reportedly resided in a state guesthouse in Niger's capital, Niamey, after fleeing across the Sahara desert.

In 2012, Interpol issued a "red notice", obliging member countries to arrest him.
