Abstract

The article reports on the confirmed death of Saif Al-Islam Qaddafi, the son of former Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, who was killed in a shooting in Zintan, Libya. An investigative team determined that he died from gunshot wounds, and local media described the incident as a "cowardly and treacherous assassination" carried out by masked attackers at his home. Saif Al-Islam, who was a significant figure during his father's regime and had been charged with crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court, had attempted to re-enter politics in 2021 by running for president, although the elections did not occur.
