@selormallen: Muammar Gaddafi’s son, Saif al‑Islam Gaddafi, reportedly killed in Libya. Saif al‑Islam Gaddafi, the 53‑year‑old son of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, has been shot dead in Zintan, western Libya, according to officials, his lawyer, and his political team. He was killed on 3 February 2026 when four masked gunmen stormed his home, disabled security cameras, and opened fire, Libyan prosecutors say, prompting an official investigation into the assassination. Al Jazeera. A Western‑educated figure once seen as his father’s potential successor, Saif al‑Islam played a prominent role in Libya’s politics both before and after the 2011 uprising that toppled Muammar Gaddafi’s 42‑year rule. He was captured in 2011, later released under an amnesty in 2017, and had lived in Zintan in the years since. His death removes a key figure from Libya’s fragmented political landscape and raises concerns about stability and power dynamics ahead of future elections #saifalislamgaddafi #libya #news #ghanatiktokers🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭 #utais1
