Gaddafi sons just slipped away

Share:

Libya’s former deputy ambassador to the UN says rebels had two of Muammar Gaddafi’s sons in custody but somehow allowed them to slip away.

Ambassador Ibrahim Dabbashi, who with other diplomats has continued to work at the Libyan mission since disavowing Gaddafi in February, said on Tuesday the Libyan leader’s sons, including heir apparent Seif al-Islam Gaddafi, had been in rebel custody but their captors evidently were not watching them carefully.

“This is a popular revolution,” said the former envoy, who has remained in close contact with the rebels since his defection. The rebels “don’t have any training in the field of security”, he added.

Dabbashi said he expects Libya will be “totally liberated” and the country to be “totally calm” within three days.

He said the rebel government would work with the International Criminal Court in the prosecution of Gaddafi and his top lieutenants, but hoped that any trials would be held inside Libyan territory.

      Yes … but they are trying to be ‘nice’ for the UN countries who were on edge about it all in the first place … and as the man says, these are not ‘pro’ soldiers. They were not trained to be ‘hard’ on prisoners, or savages like Assad has.

        nooo, they are not trying to be nice for others, the international community would want to see the end of Ghaddafi and sons without trial more then the revelotutionaries themselves…Bin Ladin’s event is not too far back. but they are not because they are really implementing islamic principles in being merciful to the enemies while taking justice…why is it so hard to understand/believe?

          Dr. Gillotine I assume? Exacting the pound of flesh? Contemplating that result for longer than the split-second it takes a in battle is not particularly merciful to the person losing the weight. We are judged by the punishments we inflict on others.
