Libyans wave their new national flag as they celebrate in the streets of Tripoli, October 2011 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.
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.
Meanwhile, Libya's new government is to be announced by Monday "at the latest," an official of the NTC said on Saturday.
Fathi Baja, in charge of political affairs for the NTC, said the list being drawn up by interim premier Abdel Rahim al-Kib was "more or less ready."
It would be submitted to the NTC for approval "tomorrow (Sunday), inshallah (God willing)," or "on Monday at the latest" if adjustments were necessary, he told AFP.
Baja said the prime minister was playing his cards close to his chest and had been working "in secret" on the cabinet list.
The NTC, whose rebel fighters backed by NATO air support toppled longtime ruler Muammar Gaddafi in October, chose Kib, a university professor from Tripoli, on October 31 to form an interim government.
Having declared the country's "liberation" three days after the October 20 capture and killing of Gaddafi, the NTC has launched a roadmap to a new Libya with a 20-month countdown to a general election.
Kib has said the new government will be formed of technocrats, but he has come under pressure from Libya's tribes and numerous armed factions which are demanding a role.
