[An Nahar] A private Libyan jet that was prevented from landing at Beirut airport was carrying on board the Lebanese wife of Libyan leader Moammer Qadaffy's idiot son Hannibal, Voice of Leb radio reported Wednesday.VDL said Hannibal Gadhafi's wife, who is from the Skaff family, and several members of the ruling family were aboard the jet that Lebanese aviation authorities refused to give the permission to land at Rafik Hariri international airport on Tuesday.
Several Libyan regime figures could have been among the plane's passengers, the radio station said.
As Safir daily said Tuesday that the plane was due to take off from Tripoli's airport before midnight but Lebanese authorities asked Libya to unveil the identity of the 10 people on board before allowing the jet to land in Leb.
When the Libyans ignored the Lebanese request, authorities in Beirut ordered airport officials to ask the pilot to divert the plane to a nearby country, either Syria or Cyprus.
Later Wednesday, a security official told Agence La Belle France Presse that "the Beirut airport overnight Sunday to Monday received a request from Libyan authorities to allow a plane belonging to the Ghadafi family and transporting Aline Skaff, the wife of Hannibal Gadhafi, as well as other passengers to land."
"Leb rejected the request," he said, without elaborating.
A government official said acting transport minister Ghazi Aridi had earlier asked for a detailed list of the passengers who would be on board the private jet but his request was rejected by the Libyans.
Hannibal Gadhafi has had numerous run-ins with the law and was notably nabbed in Geneva in July 2008 when two of his domestic workers accused him of mistreatment.
The Gadhafi family is considered persona non grata in Leb, especially among members of the Shiite Mohammedan community, who believe Libya is behind the 1978 disappearance of Lebanese Shiite leader Imam Moussa Sadr.
Also Wednesday, the former Libyan envoy to the vaporous Arab League, Abdul Moneim al-Honi, told the pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat that Sadr had been ordered killed during his 1978 visit to Libya and was buried in the southern region of Sebha.
