Gaddafi's spy chief 'is captured'

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.

Saif al-Islam, son of the late Libyan dictator, was finally sentenced to 20 years for his crimes. The trial took 16 years, because of problems with witness credibility. The court is now considering a motion to give him credit for time served..

I’d bet this guy would welcome Water Boarding before he dies.

Both he and Mr Sanussi are wanted for alleged war crimes by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Then the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda will "impale" them, and shoot them in the head execution style.

I am surprised none of these guys went down guns blazing, taking some enemies with them.

Did the "freedom fighters" cut off his fingers, just like they did to Saif yesterday?

[BlackVeil]

Me too - I am astonished. What would one have to lose by dying in conflict? Certainly it is a better death, considering what they are faced with.

Muslims killing muslims.

Does anyone here really give a Tinkers’ Dam about muslims killing muslims in Obama’s New Territories?

The stories about muslims killing Christians and muslim terrorists getting US foreign aid do get me P.O.’d though.

Yes thay have a lot of that sweet crude.

Plus this SOB al Senussi probably knows all about Lockerbie,
the Berln disco bombing, Achille Lauro, and a bunch of
other shenanigans Q was involved with. Probably he will
be dissapeared privately before outside investigators get
a chance to speak with him.
