Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, son to late long-time Libyan dictator, Moammar Gadhafi, was killed on Tuesday in his home in the western town of Zintan in western Libya. Sources close to him say four masked gunmen stormed his home to carry out the “heinous crime”.

Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, son and one-time heir apparent of Libya’s late dictator Moammar Gadghafi, was killed in Libya late on Tuesday. Sources close to him say the 53-year old was shot by gunmen in the town of Zintan, 136 kilometres southwest of the capital Tripoli.

The death was confirmed by Gadhafi’s lawyer, Khaled al-Zaidi, who announced the news in a post on Facebook without providing further details. Abdullah Othman Abdurrahim, who represented Gadhafi in the UN-brokered political dialogue, aimed at restoring peace to the North African country, also confirmed his death.

I remember this guy. His main claim to fame was being bald, in contrast to his fathers wild mop of hair. His father liked the Che Guevara look with wearing military uniforms. And don’t forget his all girl squad of body guards.

Will this be the last of the Gadhafi’s trying to resurrect the name?

Were they just for show, or were they really a crack team of professional security people?
