Gaddafi's daughter demands ICC probe into father's death
2011-12-16
[Emirates 24/7] The daughter of slain Libyan strongman Muammar Qadaffy
... who is now deader than a rock...
has asked the International Criminal Court
... where Milosevich died of old age before being convicted ...
if it will probe the killing of her father and her brother, her lawyer said Wednesday.

Aisha Qadaffy's
"The Claudia Schiffer of North Africa"...
lawyer Nick Kaufman said he had written to ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo asking for more information on the October 20 killing of Muammar Qadaffy and his son Muatassim Qadaffy.

"Aisha wants to know if he is investigating the murders and if not, why he is not," Kaufman told AFP.

The former dictator and his son were killed after their capture by forces loyal to the National Transitional Council.

In a letter to the prosecutor, Kaufman wrote that Muammar and Muatassim Qadaffy were captured alive at a time when they threatened no one.

They were both killed soon after and their bodies put on display.

"As you are aware, your analysis of the situation in Libya requires you to investigate the commission of alleged crimes by all parties to the conflict," Kaufman said.

The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Moamer Qadaffy on June 27 for crimes against humanity carried out as he tried to suppress the Libyan revolt.

Another son, Seif al-Islam, and former information minister Abdallah Al-Senoussi are subject to similar warrants. Seif al-Islam Qadaffy was jugged November 19 and there are unconfirmed reports Al-Senoussi was also captured.

ICC spokeswoman Florence Olara could not confirm if the prosecutor had received the letter.

The ICC has jurisdiction in Libya matters under a UN Security Council resolution from February 26.

Aisha, her brothers Mohamed and Hannibal, her mother Safiya and other family members were allowed to flee to Algeria for humanitarian reasons, according to Algiers.

#7  Until the ICC becomes a sharia enforcement entity, forget about anything being done about this complaint.

Didn't BHO brag about the "liberation" of Libya for "under one billion dollars" on the Leno Show? BHO likes what they have in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. And he would like the same time of islamonazi regimes in Morocco and Algeria and Syria and Lebanon. The US will get nothing but misery from a paper US-Sunni alliance.

#4  Probe the death? He got shot in the head by a rebel who admitted to it on camera! That's what happened! Take your funneled millions of Daddy's cash and hid in Paris.

#2  It is probably a good sign that the new Libyan government has been rather subdued with its public statements of late. Which implies "more doing and less jawboning".
