Saif al-Islam was assassinated because he believed in a unified and sovereign country, Moussa Ibrahim has said
The assassination of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, son of late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, was ordered by foreign powers, the country’s former information minister, Moussa Ibrahim, has said.
Saif al-Islam was killed by gunmen at his residence in the city of Zintan in northwestern Libya last week. The 53-year-old politician had intended to run for president of the North African state, which remains divided between rival governments and has been plagued by intermittent civil war since his father was murdered in a NATO-backed uprising in 2011.
In an interview with RT on Tuesday, Ibrahim said that “there is no doubt that Saif al-Islam Gaddafi was not just killed by some Libyan traitors, but this was a hit order by foreign powers.”
Those who carried out the attack could have been not only Libyans, but troops from abroad, he speculated.
The former minister declined to name the exact countries that orchestrated Gaddafi’s son’s killing, but hinted that they could be from the West.
