The death of Khamis Qadhafi, who became the
former Leader's most hated son after having led the notorious Brigade 32, has
been confirmed after a long period of supposition and rumour of his whereabouts.
He was located in Bani Walid on 20 October and was transferred to Misrata
hospital but declared dead on arrival and DNA tests are now being carried out to
prove his identity. Khamis was chiefly concerned with the military establishment
and held an important position in state security. There is considerable
speculation concerning the treatment he received between his arrest and his
arrival in Misrata.
Moussa Ibrahim, who was Colonel Qadhafi infamous minister of
information during the revolution, is also reported to have been captured at a
checkpoint near Bani Walid on 20 October and to have been transferred to
Tripoli. His name is amongst thirty or so Qadhafi loyalists, including
Abdurrahman Al-Sid and Muftah Kayiba, rumoured
to have been taking sanctuary in Bani Walid. There are, however, many such
rumours.
