Gaddafi’s son wants to surrender - NTC
National Transitional Council says Gaddafi’s son, Saif al-Islam wants to surrender and face International Criminal Court for his crimes.
A National Transitional Council official said that Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the only one of Muammar Gaddafi's eight children still on the run, proposed surrendering to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Saif al-Islam has been indicted for war crimes and wants to face international justice to avoid the same end as his father.
Gaddafi’s son wanted to surrender to the Dutch-based ICC with former intelligence chief and relative Abdullah al-Senussi according to an NTC official.
Talks of Saif al-Islam’s surrender were not, however, confirmed by an ICC spokesperson. S
aif al-Islam took refuge in Libya’s southern desert after he was unable to find safety in Algeria or Niger as did his other four siblings who survived the eight-month civil war according to NTC officials.
Saif al-Islam and Senussi have been indicted by the ICC for their role in using force in an attempt to suppress the uprising which began in February.
Gaddafi’s son was a philanthropist and liberal reform who unexpectedly became a soldier ready to die rather than surrender when rebels rose up against his father.

Blood is thicker than water and I believe close relatives sometimes go beyond normal actions in order to defend the family.
Mothers and fathers have come in defence of their criminla offsprings even thou knowing that their children were doing evil things.
Lets hope that Saif's wish comes true maybe we would leran more about what really happened, unless like his father, there are those who'd rather seehim dead and buried.

He didn't sound very liberal in the interviews he gave during the uprising when he promised to crush his enemies or die fighting!
