Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, son of Libya's former dictator Moammar Gadhafi, was killed in Zintan, Libya. The circumstances are unclear, but reports indicate armed men were involved, leading to an ongoing investigation. Once a reformist figure, Seif lived under the shadow of his father's legacy and faced international charges.

Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, the son of Libya's former dictator Moammar Gadhafi, has been killed in Zintan, a town located southwest of Tripoli. The exact circumstances surrounding his death remain uncertain, but local sources suggest that armed men might have been responsible for the killing.

His lawyer, Khaled al-Zaidi, confirmed his death on social media, yet provided no additional information. Abdullah Othman Abdurrahim, a representative in Libya's UN-led political dialogue, also acknowledged his death without further details. Local media Fawasel reported that prosecutors have initiated an investigation.

Seif al-Islam, initially seen as a potential reformer within his father's regime, had a complicated political journey. Despite a conviction and international charges, he announced a bid for Libya's presidency in 2021, stirring controversy. His death marks a significant point in Libya's ongoing political turmoil.
