Seif al-Islam Gadhafi Killed in Zintan Home, Escalating Libya’s Instability
Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, once seen as the reformist heir to Libya’s late dictator Moammar Gadhafi, was killed Tuesday in his Zintan home when four masked gunmen stormed the residence; his death was confirmed by his lawyer and is under investigation. A former detainee released in 2017 after amnesty, Seif al-Islam had faced ICC charges for crimes against humanity related to the 2011 uprising and had pursued a presidential bid amid Libya’s ongoing chaos and rival authorities.
