The son and one-time heir apparent of the late Colonel Gaddafi, Saif al-Islam, is still in Libya. He is free and will go on with the resistance, he reportedly claimed in an address to supporters aired by Syria’s Arrai TV Channel.
“We continue our resistance. I am in Libya, I am alive, free and intend to go to the very end and exact revenge,” Russia’s RIA Novosti news agency quotes Saif al-Islam as saying on Saturday night on the Syrian Channel, which remains loyal to the Libyan ex-leader.
“I say go to hell, you and NATO behind you. This is our country, we live in it, we die in it and we are continuing the struggle,” Saif al-Islam said, according to Al-Arabiya news channel.
“I received a message from tribes in Bani Walid about a general consensus between them to respond to threats from the gangs of rats ─ the revolutionaries and the NATO alliance,” Saif al-Islam said.
Earlier contradictory reports suggested Saif al-Islam Gaddafi has been either killed or captured in the western Libyan town of Zliten and was in the hands of the country’s National Transitional Council.
Egypt’s Nile TV Channel reported on Thursday, October 20, that he had managed to flee Sirte and find shelter in the desert.
According to RIA Novosti, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi has already got the support of the tribes loyal to his father, who promised to fight against the current government and take revenge for the killing of the colonel and his son Mutassim. Some experts now suggest the Libyan conflict could now be prolonged and grow from a political into an interethnic struggle.
Thirty-nine-year-old Saif al-Islam is the second son of Muammar Gaddafi and carried out public relations and diplomatic roles for his father. Western-educated and the most-recognized Libyan official, he was often viewed as Colonel’s successor and a possible reformer.

Long live Saif-al-Islam! Don't trust those criminals in Den Hague! They would kill you, once captured, or send you back to those killers of your father!! Never trust your enemies ! We need you and your comrades for the Green Revolution of Libya against these aggressors!
I hope the Green Revolution will survive! We have been friends in Socialis times untill our country, the German Dedmocratic Republic has been occupied by the West under the call : "we are one nation"? What nation? The West occupied the Eastern part of Germany, a force directed and ruled by the imperialistic U.S. administration. We are slaves for them, not more, tax payers, cheap workers. They call it "democracy", but there is no real choice in their "democratic" elections - the political system, they have built, is stable. It does not allow any change. And the only few communists who fight for our deliberation, for Socialism, for the society and peace which we have lost, are under strong observation and depression by the law. I hate that Germany! Our goverment should have to defend itself at the Haague tribunal for their war crimes in Libya, Afghanistan, Kuweit, Iraque, in Turkey, Palestina and the like. Our government knew about the ware crimes of the so-called rebels in Benghazi, long before they lynched my friend Muaamar Gaddafi himself and his comrades. They knew it and they supported those killers, because they wanted what they saw. Muammar Gaddafi, the leader of the Green Revolution of Libya was right when he required that all those mad, criminal and immoral Prime ministers and Presidents of Europe should wake up for their crimes against the humanity and should step down immediatly as Prime ministers and Presidents of Europe !!
Nice one Saif, you have the support of most of the free thinking, bothering to read, people of the world. Go get back your country and save your people from the western gov'ts idea of democracy and eventual bankruptcy.
