Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and once seen as his heir, is reportedly dead after a four-man commando assassination at his Zintan home, though Libyan relatives gave a conflicting account that he died near the Algeria border. The death was reportedly confirmed by the head of his political team, and details remain unclear amid Libya’s militia-driven fragmentation and rival governments.
Hannibal Gaddafi, the youngest son of Muammar Gaddafi, was released from nearly 10 years of detention in Lebanon, where he was accused of concealing information about a Lebanese Shia cleric's disappearance. His release followed a reduced bail and he plans to leave Lebanon for an undisclosed destination, amid concerns over the fairness of his detention.

Former Italian Prime Minister Giuliano Amato has alleged that France ordered the shooting down of an Italian passenger jet in 1980 in an attempt to kill Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi. Amato claimed that the French air force inadvertently fired a missile that downed the plane, leading to the death of all 81 people on board. While Amato lacks solid evidence to support his claims, the allegation could strain Franco-Italian relations, which have already been tense due to recent diplomatic disagreements.
