Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of the slain Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, was killed on Tuesday (local time) in an armed attack in western Libya, Xinhua reported.
According to Xinhua, Abdullah Othman Abdurrahim — a member of Gaddafi’s team — announced the incident on Facebook, stating that four masked gunmen stormed Gaddafi’s residence in the city of Zintan at noon.
