Saif Al-Arab Gaddafi, Libya Leader’s Son, Killed By NATO Airstrike: Spokesman

TRIPOLI, April 30 (Reuters) - Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi survived a NATO airstrike on Saturday night that killed his youngest son Saif al-Arab and three of his grandchildren, a Libyan government spokesman said.

Mussa Ibrahim said Saif al-Arab was a civilian and a student who had studied in Germany. He was 29 years old.

Libyan officials took journalists to the house, which had been hit by at least three missiles. The roof had completely caved in in some areas, leaving strings of reinforcing steel hanging down among chunks of concrete.

A table football machine stood outside in the garden of the house, which was in a wealthy residential area of Tripoli.

Good riddance? Are you serious?

The one who got killed was no oppressor. Qaddafi is. Three of Qaddafi's grand kids were also killed. Given the age of his son killed, I am assuming the grand children were not more than teenagers. Is that good riddance too?

Re: Saif Al-Arab Gaddafi, Libya Leader's Son, Killed By NATO Airstrike: Spokesman

ask the mothers, wives, fathers, children massacred by qaddafi. Did he care who he was killing. It is amazing that these blood thirsty dictators have no shame or hesitation in killing anyone opposing their rule but when one of their is killed they start screaming. I am not for bloodshed or killing of anyone but this guy doesn't care for anyone except for his family. Before my heart feels sympathy for his son and grand children I remember hundreds of man, women and children killed by him.

Re: Saif Al-Arab Gaddafi, Libya Leader's Son, Killed By NATO Airstrike: Spokesman

I respectfully disagree with this reasoning and justification.

No matter how cruel Gaddaffi is, if his son and grandsons had done nothing, their killing can not be justified at all. No religion would approve such sort of reasoning let alone religion of Islam.

Please do not get me wrong. I have no intention of disrespecting you or any one else on this board but I have seen Pakistani police using such reasoning by apprehending innocent relatives of the criminal when they don't succeed in finding the actual culprit.
