Funeral for Saif al-Islam Gaddafi Held in Libya

Authorities investigating killing of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, once seen as de-facto PM under father’s iron-fisted rule.

Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of Libya’s late leader Muammar Gaddafi, was killed in Zintan during a confrontation with gunmen, prompting an investigation into his death. His funeral in Bani Walid drew thousands of mourners, reflecting his past prominence as a potential heir. Once viewed as a reformer, his reputation deteriorated amid the 2011 uprising, leading to his arrest. Libya remains divided between rival governments as the country grapples with ongoing instability.
