Seif al-Islam Gaddafi Reports are coming in that Seif Al-Islam, ousted Libyan Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's son has been arrested in south Libya. The statement came from the ruling National Transitional Council's justice minister Mohammed al-Allagui, who declined to give any details.
An NTC commander told reporters from Tripoli that Seif al-Islam was arrested near the town of Oubari along with three of his aids.
There was no word of the other official wanted by the ICC, former intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi.
The news broke as fighters from Zintan, a powerful faction among the many armed groups currently dominating Libya while the NTC tries to form a new government, started celebrating in Tripoli.
Bashir Thaelba, a Zintan field commander who had called a news conference on another issue, told reporters in the capital that Gaddafi would be held in Zintan until there was a government to hand him over to. The government is due to be formed within days.
"The rebels of Zintan announce that Seif al-Islam Gaddafi has been arrested along with three of his aides today," Thaelba said in remarks carried on Libyan television. "We hope at this historical moment that the future of Libya will be bright."
The ICC issued warrants on June 27 against Seif al-Islam as well as his father and Abdullah al-Senussi, the late dictator's intelligence chief, on charges of crimes against humanity in crushing anti-regime protests.
Muammar Gaddafi was killed last month in his hometown of Sirte.
