Saadi Gaddafi, a son of the former dictator, was extradited from Niger to Libya. A professed Salafist, he is suspected of organizing protests in Libya and the seizure of the Tamenhint airport in Sebha. His brother Saif is being held by a militia in Zintan which refuses to hand him over to the government. The bodies of a couple who had been kidnapped two days ago were found in Benghazi; the woman, a lawyer, was reportedly raped before being shot.
