                     Gadhafi Son to Appear in Libyan Court

   by Reuters

   Saif al-Islam, son of deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi, will
   appear in court on Thursday in the town of Zintan, where a militia has
   held him since his capture in November 2011, a local council official
   said.

   Saif is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on war crimes
   charges, but his court appearance relates to charges that he gave
   information to an ICC lawyer last year that could endanger national
   security.

   The ICC lawyer, Australian Melinda Taylor, was herself arrested and
   held for three weeks after the meeting. She has since said her
   detention proved that Saif al-Islam could not receive a fair trial in
   Libya and should be tried in The Hague.

   Libya, which wants to try Saif itself, has yet to indict him for war
   crimes, although the public prosecutor has said a case is being
   prepared and will soon go to court.
