Reports were spreading Thursday that deposed Libyan leader Moammar Kadafi was captured and killed in the fall of his hometown of Surt.
The information center for the rebel military in the nearby city of Misurata issued a statement saying “the tyrant” had been arrested in an assault on Kadafi’s hometown. Earlier Thursday, the coastal city was reported to have fallen to forces loyal to Libya’s new government.

Libya militias taking law into own hands
Many of the fighters that pushed Muammar Qaddafi from power have refused to stand down. Now, some of Libya militias are allegedly stealing and targeting Qaddafi supporters for revenge.

Extracts:
…The new Libya is dominated by militias like the Zintan Brigade. They participated in the liberation of Tripoli in August and they never left. Now that the fighting is over, most militias won’t give up their guns. Accusations of mafia-style behavior are growing, as are worries that inter-militia fighting could break out before the new Libya is even born.
…The problem, says Dougha, “is that we can’t disarm unless Zintan does the same.”
Jadu is a Berber town and Zintan is Arab. Three generations ago, Zintan fighters chased Jadu fighters from the area until they were able to fight their way back.
“We fought as brothers against Qaddafi, but we don’t entirely trust them. Zintan with heavy weapons and Jadu without weapons is simply not an option,” says Dougha.

Tunisia approves extradition of Libya’s ex-PM
Court rules Baghdadi al-Mahmudi, Gaddafi’s prime minister until fall of Tripoli, should be handed to Libyan authorities.
http://english.aljazeera.net/news/africa/2011/11/2011118171642274348.html
A Tunis appeals court has approved a request by the new Libyan authorities for the extradition of the country’s former prime minister Baghdadi al-Mahmudi, according to court officials.
Mahmudi, who was former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s prime minister until the fall of Tripoli in August, had been held in Tunisia since September following his arrest near the Algerian border.
Mahmudi and human rights groups including Amnesty International had expressed concerns that the 70-year-old risked being subject to “serious human rights violations” if he was returned to Libya.
During the hearing, dozens of Libyans rallied outside the courthouse demanding the extradition of the man they called the “third tyrant of Libya” after Gaddafi and his son Saif al-Islam.
“The Libyan people have the right to apply the law to those who robbed the people,” one banner read.

Tunisian court agrees to extradite ex-Libyan FM

Mahmoudi’s Tunisian lawyers have called early this month for his release pending a hearing on Nov. 22 when the court would examine Libya’s request to extradite him.
The defense team have said that their client is sought by Libyan authorities for political reasons, adding they opposed the extradition request fearing for his life in Libya. It also expressed concern at Mahmoudi’s deteriorating health.
Last week, Amnesty International urged Tunisia not to extradite Mahmoudi, saying he risked being the target of serious human rights violations, including torture and possible extra-judicial execution.
Tunisia and Libya are bound by an extradition treaty signed in 1961.

Libya ex-PM al-Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi to be extradited
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-15645272
An appeals court in Tunis has approved the extradition of Libya’s former Prime Minister, al-Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi, back to Libya.
“It’s an unfair decision, a political decision,” his lawyer, Mabrouk Korchid, told Reuters.
The extradition request was made by Libya’s new government, the National Transitional Council (NTC).
Mr Mahmoudi has reportedly expressed fears for his safety if he is returned to Libya.
Mr Korchid also voiced concern, saying: “If any harm comes to him in Libya, the Tunisian justice system will be a party to that.”
Mr Mahmoudi served as prime minister until Col Muammar Gaddafi was ousted earlier this year.
In September he was detained in Tamaghza, southern Tunisia, close to the border with Algeria.
He was sentenced to six months in jail for illegal entry into Algeria, a decision that was overturned on appeal.
However, Mr Mahmoudi has subsequently been detained at a prison near Tunis awaiting a ruling on the extradition request, the AFP news agency reports.
In August, Tunisia recognised the NTC as the Libyan government and has committed itself to co-operation on security issues.
Human rights organisation Amnesty International last week urged Tunisia not to extradite Mr Mahmoudi, saying he risked being subject to “serious human rights violations” in Libya.
After Col Gaddafi’s death, Mr Mahmoudi’s lawyers expressed fears for his life, saying he now had sole knowledge of many Libyan state secrets.

Rival Libyan militias clash near military base
By RAMI AL-SHAHEIBI – Associated Press | AP – 1 hr 22 mins ago
http://news.yahoo.com/rival-libyan-militias-clash-near-military-132722966.html
WARSHEFANA, Libya (AP) — Rival militias clashed on the outskirts of the Libyan capital for a fourth day Sunday in the deadliest and most sustained violence since the capture and killing of Moammar Gadhafi last month.
Fighters attacked each other with rockets, mortars and machine guns, witnesses said. The fighting, which has killed at least 13 people since late last week, raised new concerns about the ability of Libya’s transitional government to disarm thousands of gunmen and restore order after an eight-month civil war.
Libya’s interim leader, Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, said his National Transitional Council brought together elders from the feuding areas — the coastal city of Zawiya and the nearby tribal lands of Warshefana — over the weekend and that the dispute has been resolved. “I want to assure the Libyan people that everything is under control,” he said Sunday.
However, as he spoke, fighting continued.
Heavy gunfire and explosions of rocket-propelled grenades were heard over hours Sunday in the area between the Warshefana lands, about 18 miles (30 kilometers) west of Tripoli, and Zawiya, another 10 miles (15 kilometers) to the west. White smoke rose into the air.
At one point, the two sides were battling for control of a major military camp of the ousted regime, said a fighter from Tripoli. The camp, once a base of elite forces commanded by one of Gadhafi’s sons, Khamis, is located on a highway midway between Tripoli and Zawiya.
In all, at least 13 people were killed in the fighting, including four from Zawiya and nine from Warshefana, according to gunmen and a hospital doctor in Warshefana. More than 100 people from Warshefana were wounded since Saturday, said Dr. Mohammed Sawan, adding that casualties stemmed from gunshots as well as shrapnel from rockets and mortar shells.
On Sunday evening, a Warshefana field commander, Ashraf Borwais, delivered a severely burned fighter to the local hospital. He said the man was wounded when his vehicle was struck by artillery and exploded. Borwais said fighting had stopped in the evening. “The dogs have retreated,” he said, referring to the Zawiya militiamen.
Zawiya fighters, meanwhile, manned roadblocks on the outskirts of their city at intervals of about 200 yards (meters). Groups of jumpy armed men, some brandishing RPGs, crowded around the checkpoints. Fighters searched trunks of cars and checked IDs.
The reason for the initial clash remains unclear, though accusations have been flying, including that some of the Warshefana had links to the old regime. At one point last week, fighters from Zawiya entered Warshefana and seized weapons. In retaliation, Warshefana fighters set up random checkpoints and fired at the main highway.
Abdul-Jalil said the NTC has established a committee to address the grievances of both sides. He said the fighting was sparked by young men behaving irresponsibly, but he did not elaborate.
Since the Oct. 20 death of Gadhafi, there have been a number of violent clashes between fighters, including a deadly shootout at a Tripoli hospital. Residents of the capital have also become increasingly annoyed with fighters from other areas of Libya who have taken over prime locations in the city, including a gated seaside resort village.
Despite the growing tensions, Abdul-Jalil and other NTC leaders have said they cannot disarm the fighters quickly.
Noting high unemployment among the armed men, Abdul-Jalil said the new government must offer alternatives first, including jobs, study and training.

Dear Col. Gadhafi: How an ex-CIA Arabist, GOP lobbyist, and ex-RNC/AIPAC fundraiser sought to help Gadhafi for $10 million
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/envoy/dear-col-gadhafi-ex-cia-arabist-gop-lobbyist-230132693.html
Confidential documents posted to Facebook by a group called WikiLeaks Libya show that a motley group of Washington fixers-for-hire mounted an 11th-hour push in April to revive Moammer Gadhafi’s sagging Washington reputation. And all they asked for their services was the nominal fee of $10 million from the Libyan strongman, who was killed by rebel forces last month in his hometown of Sirte. The story was first reported late Thursday by the New York Times’ Scott Shane and Penn Bullock.
The confidential documents, addressed to Your “Excellency Moammar Khaddafi,” and dated April 17, “contained a shock for the Americans: a three-page letter addressed to Colonel Qaddafi . . . [offering] the Libyan dictator the lobbying services of what he called the ‘American Action Group’ to outmaneuver the rebels and win United States government support,” Shane and Bullock reported.
“Our group of Libyan sympathizers . . . would like to help to block the actions of your international enemies and to support a normal working relationship with the United States Government,” a letter signed by a Belgian member of the proposed lobbying group, Dirk Borgers, said, Shane and Bullock reported.
“Our group . . . working inside the different services, Intelligence, Military, Congress and Administration, of the American government, since 30 plus years,” can help “block the actions of your international enemies” and “support a normal working relationship with the United States government,” the proposal to Gadhafi stated…….

Gaddafi ဂါဒါဖီ သား Saif (စရဲ့)အား Libya လစ်ဗျားတောင်ပိုင်းတွင် မိပြီ
Gadhafi son Seif al-Islam seized in southern Libya
http://news.yahoo.com/gadhafi-son-seif-al-islam-seized-southern-libya-123347596.html
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Moammar Gadhafi’s son Seif al-Islam — the only wanted member of the ousted ruling family to remain at large — was captured Saturday as he traveled with aides in a convoy in Libya’s southern desert, Libyan officials said. Thunderous celebratory gunfire shook the Libyan capital as the news spread.
A spokesman for the Libyan fighters who captured him said Seif al-Islam, who has been charged by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity, was detained about 30 miles (50 kilometers) west of the town of Obari with two aides as he was trying to flee to neighboring Niger. But the country’s acting justice minister later said the convoy’s destination was not confirmed.
ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo told The Associated Press that he will travel to Libya next week for talks with the country’s transitional government on where the trial will take place. Ocampo said that while national governments have the first right to try their own citizens for war crimes, he wants to make sure Seif al-Islam has a fair trial.
“The good news is that Seif al-Islam is arrested, he is alive, and now he will face justice,” Ocampo said in an interview in The Hague. “Where and how, we will discuss it.”
Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, at 39 the oldest of seven children of Moammar and Safiya Gadhafi, spent years courting Western favor by touting himself as a liberalizing reformer in the autocratic regime but then staunchly backed his father in his brutal crackdown on rebels in the regime’s final days.
He had gone underground after Tripoli fell to revolutionary forces in late August and issued audio recordings to try to rally support for his father. He was widely reported to have long been hiding in the besieged town of Bani Walid but escaped before it fell to revolutionary forces.
His capture just over a month after his father was killed leaves only former intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senoussi wanted by the ICC, which indicted the three men for in June for unleashing a campaign of murder and torture to suppress the uprising against the Gadhafi regime that broke out in mid-February…….

Gaddafi’s son captured, scared and without a fight
http://news.yahoo.com/gaddafi-son-saif-seized-libya-officials-114541021.html
ZINTAN, Libya (Reuters) – Muammar Gaddafi’s son Saif al-Islam has been captured in Libya’s southern desert, scared and with only a handful of supporters, by fighters who vow to hold him in the mountain town of Zintan until there is a government to hand him over to.
Crowds across the country fired guns and hooted car horns to celebrate the seizure of the British-educated 39-year-old, who was once seen as a future ruler of the oil-producing desert state.
Fighters from Zintan said they stopped Saif al-Islam as he drove through the desert in a small convoy and detained him without a fight. They flew him to their western mountain home, accompanied on the plane by Reuters reporters.
Hundreds of people crowded round the plane when it landed, trapping him inside for more than an hour and raising fears he might suffer a similar fate to his father, who was beaten and shot after his capture a month ago on Sunday.
The Zintan rebels stopped people forcing their way on to the aircraft, bundled Saif al-Islam through the jostling crowd into a car and drove him away.
Prime Minister-designate Abdurrahim El-Keib promised Gaddafi’s son would face a fair trial and called his capture the “crowning” of the uprising that overthrew Muammar Gaddafi.
“We assure Libyans and the world that Saif al-Islam will receive a fair trial … under fair legal processes which our own people had been deprived of for the last 40 years,” Keib told a press conference in Zintan.
Saif al-Islam would be tried in Libya for serious crimes that carry the death penalty, Libya’s interim justice minister said.
“He has instigated others to kill, has misused public funds, threatened and instigated and even took part in recruiting and bringing in mercenaries,” Mohammed al-Alagy told Reuters.
Saif al-Islam, who had vowed to die fighting, was taken without a struggle, officials said.
“At the beginning he was very scared. He thought we would kill him,” Ahmed Ammar, one of his captors, told Reuters.
Saif al-Islam told a Reuters reporter on his plane his bandaged hand had been wounded in a NATO air strike a month ago. Asked if he was feeling all right, Gaddafi said simply: “Yes.”
The Zintan fighters, who make up one of Libya’s most powerful militia factions that hold effective power in a country still without a government, said they planned to keep him in Zintan until they could hand him over to the authorities.
Keib is scheduled to form a government by Tuesday, and the fate of Saif al-Islam will be an early test of its authority.
The incoming premier said Gaddafi’s son remained in the hands of “the revolutionaries in Zintan” and heaped praise on their fighters, acknowledging the authority the tribal militia continued to hold over its territory.
“They (the Zintan fighters) will keep him in peace, take care of him. He will be treated as any human being with respect. He will get his day in court,” Keib said.
Zintan could now use Saif al-Islam as a bargaining chip in the contest between rival groups for power in the new Libya. Fighters from Zintan made the decisive push on to Tripoli which ended Muammar Gaddafi’s rule, and they want to make sure their contribution is recognised.
Libyans want to try Saif al-Islam at home and believe he knows the location of billions of dollars of public money amassed by the Gaddafi family. His captors said they found only a few thousand dollars and a cache of rifles in seized vehicles.
The European Union urged Libyan authorities to ensure Saif al-Islam was brought to justice in cooperation with the International Criminal Court, which accuses him of crimes against humanity.
Ammar told Reuters that his unit of 15 men in three vehicles, acting on a tip-off about a possible high-profile fugitive, had intercepted two cars carrying Gaddafi and four others in the desert about 70 km (40 miles) from the small oil town of Obari at about 1:30 a.m. (2330 GMT on Friday).
“SERVANT OF PEACE”
After the fighters fired in the air and forced the cars to stop, they asked the identity of the passengers. Saif al-Islam replied that he was “Abdelsalam” – a name that means “servant of peace” said the fighters who quickly recognised and seized him.
The fighters said they put him at ease and he accepted he would be taken to Zintan, a town south of Tripoli that was a stronghold of anti-Gaddafi rebels.
Saif al-Islam appeared relatively at ease and was not handcuffed as he sat on a bench at the rear of the plane.
Wearing traditional robes with a scarf pulled over his face, Saif al-Islam had a heavy black beard and wore his rimless spectacles.
His thumb, index and another finger were heavily bandaged from the wounds sustained in the NATO strike.
Muammar Gaddafi’s beating, abuse and ultimate death in the custody of former rebel fighters was an embarrassment to the previous transitional government. Officials in Tripoli said they were determined to handle his son’s case with more order.
“The capture presents a challenge to the NTC. If they want to try Saif then what can they do to make Zintan hand him over?” said Henry Smith, an analyst with the Control Risks group, referring to the National Transitional Council which won international recognition as Libya’s new interim government.
Memories are still fresh of the days Gaddafi’s father’s corpse spent rotting and on public view in the city of Misrata, another rebel stronghold, as its militia leaders trumpeted their capture of the fallen leader as part of their campaign to extract power and patronage from the new interim authority.
A fighter from an anti-Gaddafi unit, the Khaled bin al-Waleed Brigade, which said it seized Saif al-Islam in the wilderness near the oil town of Obari, told Free Libya television: “We got a tip he had been staying there for the last month.
“They couldn’t get away because we had a good plan,” Wisam Dughaly added, saying Saif al-Islam had been using a 4×4 vehicle: “He was not hurt and will be taken safely for trial so Libyans will be able to prosecute him and get back their money.
“We will take him to Zintan for safekeeping to keep him alive until a government is formed and then we will hand him over as soon as possible,” Dughaly said.
He added that Saif al-Islam, once seen as a reformer who engineered his father’s rapprochement with the West, appeared to have been hiding out in the desert since fleeing the tribal bastion of Bani Walid, near Tripoli, in October.
“I’m really surprised that Saif al-Islam has not met the same fate as his father and his brother,” Fawaz Gerges, professor of international relations at the London School of Economics, told BBC TV.
“The best thing that the new leadership can do is to hand Saif al-Islam to the International Criminal Court because I don’t believe it really has the resources and the means to try Saif al-Islam and give him a fair trial.”

ZINTAN, Libya — Libyan militia fighters on Saturday captured Seif al-Islam el-Qaddafi, the last fugitive son and onetime heir apparent of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, setting off nationwide celebrations but also exposing a potential power struggle between former-rebel factions over his handling.
Militia leaders based in Zintan, a western mountain town and stronghold of resistance to Colonel Qaddafi’s regime, said they captured Seif al-Islam early Saturday in the southwestern desert near Awbari, along with a small entourage.
But while transitional government leaders in the capital, Tripoli, promised that Mr. Qaddafi would be closely guarded and turned over to the International Criminal Court to be tried on war crimes charges, leaders in Zintan insisted that they would not hand him over until a formal national government was formed……

Gaddafi’s spy chief Abdullah al-Sanussi ‘captured’
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-15812736
Col Gaddafi’s fugitive spy chief Abdullah al-Sanussi has been captured, Libya’s interim government says.
He was seized by fighters in the south of the country, officials say.
Mr Sanussi, who has not yet been seen in custody, was one of the last senior figures from the Gaddafi regime still on the run.
Gaddafi’s son Saif al-Islam was seized on Saturday. Both he and Mr Sanussi are wanted for alleged war crimes by the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Mr Sanussi, a brother-in-law of Col Gaddafi, is said to have been arrested at his sister’s home in the southern town of Sabha on Sunday.
He was regarded as the late leader’s right-hand man – and one of the regime’s most-feared figures.
Mr Sanussi, 62, is being sought by the ICC in connection with the repression of protests against Gaddafi’s rule earlier this year.
He has also been accused of human rights abuses, including his implication in the massacre in 1996 of more than 1,000 inmates at the Abu Salim prison in Tripoli.
‘Fair trial’
Mr Sanussi was a close adviser to Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, according to leaked US embassy documents.
Saif al-Islam is due to be interrogated by prosecutors at a secret location in the western city of Zintan, where he was taken by militiamen who seized him in Libya’s southern desert.
The commander of the Zintan militia told the BBC their prisoner was being well-treated at a private house, and had seen a doctor on Sunday about a wound to his hand.
The commander also gave details of the capture on Saturday. He said Saif al-Islam had asked to be shot dead but the militias refused…..

Reporting from Tripoli, Libya— Libya’s interim prime minister on Tuesday unveiled a new Cabinet apparently assembled with an eye to subduing regional factions, which have grown increasingly adversarial in the scramble for power since the overthrow of longtime strongman Moammar Kadafi.
The new political leadership, which will run Libya until elections are held next year, faces the daunting task of creating a workable government and uniting a country ravaged by war and 42 years of dictatorial rule.
“All of Libya is represented,” Prime Minister Abdel-Rahim Keeb told a news conference in the capital, Tripoli. “It is hard to say that any area is not represented.”…
Libyan Leader Seeks to Unite Factions With Cabinet

TRIPOLI, Libya — Bowing to pressure from a local militia holding one of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s sons as a prisoner, Prime Minister Abdel Rahim el-Keeb on Tuesday appointed the militia’s commander to be the new defense minister.
The appointment came as the prime minister named a new cabinet after weeks of bargaining among the competing cities, tribes and militias that formed the loose coalition that overthrew the Qaddafi government but are now struggling to share power.
The selection of Osama al-Juwali, the head of the military council in Zintan, to lead the Defense Ministry, perhaps the most critical post in the government, did not come as a surprise, but it underscored the weakness of the interim government.
It will now be Mr. Juwali’s responsibility to disarm and merge divergent militias from around the country into a united army and a national police force. His partner in that effort will be Fawzi Abdelal, the powerful militia leader from the city of Misurata, whom Mr. Keeb appointed as interior minister in an effort to assuage that competing group.
The new cabinet will govern until an election for a new national assembly scheduled for the middle of next year.
Zintani fighters were crucial during the war in creating a southern front and in the final taking of Tripoli, the capital. But since then, they have been increasingly aggressive about flexing their muscle to demonstrate their independence from the interim central authority. They have set up roadblocks around the capital and disobeyed orders from the governing Transitional National Council to leave Tripoli. ….
Militia fighters from Misurata have also projected their power by setting up barricades around the country, far from their city and independent of the new national army.
Mr. Keeb said his cabinet choices were designed to “achieve national reconciliation,” adding that the new government would aim for “freedom, democracy, development, justice and a state of law and institutions.” …

Urgency grows in divided Libya, says Jibril
Libya named a new cabinet yesterday designed to win broad support and quiet tribal and regional rivalries. But it may not address issues raised by senior Libyan leader Mahmoud Jibril in a recent interview.

This should be Mahmoud Jibril’s moment of triumph.
As prime minister of Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC), he spent most of the past year traveling the world and lining up financial and military support for the rebel effort to oust Muammar Qaddafi.
Yet just a month after Mr. Qaddafi was killed and the NTC declared liberation, Mr. Jibril is worried. Very worried. In a press briefing and at Harvard University’s Arab Weekend in mid-November he used the word “scary” at least five times to describe the outlook for Libya, and said that the country could slip into the sort of instability that has racked Iraq since the 2003 US-led invasion toppled Saddam Hussein.

The key problem in Libya is that while the NTC is officially in control, it is essentially a self-appointed body that has yet to establish legitimacy across the diverse, oil-rich nation.
There were signs of the problem today in Tripoli. Yesterday, interim Prime Minister Abdurrahim el-Keib – appointed after Jibril stepped down last month – announced a cabinet designed to take into account tribal and geographic divisions within Libya. Militia commanders who fought Qaddafi were given posts, as were representatives from large tribes. The oil and finance posts went to two men who have long occupied senior management positions in the country’s oil industry.
But apparently there wasn’t enough cake to go around. Protesters from two Benghazi-based tribes, in the east of the country, demanded spots for their leaders in Tripoli today. In the Nafusa mountains, members of the Amazigh, or Berber, minority, said they were cutting ties with the transitional council because of insufficient representation. The Berbers were second-class citizens in Qaddafi’s Libya – their language outlawed – and they contributed some of the most committed and best-organized militias to the war to drive him from power.
Jibril is well aware of the trust deficit in his home country, and doesn’t sugarcoat the risks. His recommendation is to speed up the transition to an elected government, with elections in mid-2012 that will pave the way for a more representative government that can supervise the writing of a new constitution. A drawn-out transition increases the risks of instability and a slide back into despotism, he argues.
A top concern in the short term is that the militias that were formed to oust Qaddafi have largely refused to lay down their weapons. Built on regional and tribal loyalties after four decades of arbitrary one-man rule, they’re reluctant to trust the country’s interim leaders.
“We’ve had no institutions whatsoever for 42 years. No laws, no culture of dialogue,” says Jibril. “And all of a sudden we’ve moved from a national battle against Qaddafi to a political battle without any rules. You can imagine in the absence of a democratic culture what kind of interactions are taking place…. It’s scary.”
In mid-November, rival militias fought outside Tripoli for two days, leaving six dead, before a peace was brokered. Jibril said at the time that the NTC is planning to offer the commanders of the largest militias a seat at the table in exchange for persuading their fighters to stand down. Whether that was enough to satisfy militia leaders will become clear in the coming weeks and months.
He also complained that Qatar, which provided military support to anti-Qaddafi rebels, is now meddling dangerously in Libyan politics.
More generally, Jibril said that young revolutionaries across the region need to step up politically. “They need to develop their own political agendas; they have to organize themselves into some sort of political party, NGOs, whatever,” he said. “Then they are going to be the real power that shapes the future. If they fail to do that, then [the Arab uprisings] will lead us to a cycle of instability that might last for some time.”
