Gaddafi’s Son Apologises,
Asks For Forgiveness

Saadi Gaddafi, detained son of late Libyan
dictator Moamar Gaddafi, has apologised
for what he called “my attempts to
destabilise the country” and asked for
forgiveness.
“I should have helped achieve renaissance
in the country. I shouldn’t have carried out
such deeds”, he said without elaborating in
a video broadcast late on Thursday on
Libya’s state television.
“I want Libya’s leaders, people,
government and the Congress (parliament)
to forgive me.”
Saadi, Gaddafi’s third son, was extradited
earlier this month by Niger, where he
sought refuge after armed uprising in 2011
against his father.
Saadi, 40, appeared in the footage in good
health apparently to quash rumours that
he had been tortured in prison.
He is due to go on trial next month for
allegedly ordering the shooting of peaceful
protesters during the uprising against his
father.

captured and killed in Oct. 2011. (dpa/
