‘Substantial evidence’ against Saif al-Islam
The prosecutor for the International Criminal Court (ICC) said he has “substantial evidence” that Gaddafi’s son was involved in organising attacks on civilians and hiring mercenaries.
Speaking to Reuters, ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo said there is substantial evidence that Saif al-Islam was involved in the crimes against humanity that took place in Libya.
Yesterday, Saif al-Islam said he was innocent of crimes against humanity.
"We have witnesses who explained how Saif was involved with the planning of the attacks against civilians, including in particular the hiring of core mercenaries from different countries and the transport of them, and also the financial aspects he was covering," Moreno-Ocampo told Reuters in Beijing.
"So we have substantial evidence to prove the case, but of course Saif is still (presumed) innocent, and (will) have to go to court and the judge will decide," he said.

The vast majority of the maltese don't care one bit about this type of story. We had enough of these stories. Start reporting the facts, like what is happening in Libya right now. Sharia law, pologamy, etc, etec. This is what the news media should be writing about. This is where libya is headed. This is where tunisa and egypt are headed. Back to veils and back to the middle ages. The poor poor women in these countries. And those poor maltese women who married libyans, becuase now their husbands may be able to have four wives if sharia is put in place.
