However, the Vicar Apostolic of Tripoli, Bishop Innocenzo Martinelli, confirmed yesterday the death of Saif el Arab, whose body led him to the authorities, Efe reported. Next to him, he said, lay the bodies of another adult and three children.
Libyan television reported yesterday that there are three grandchildren Gaddafi, Saif, 2-year-old son Mohamed; Carthage, age 3, daughter of Hannibal, and Mastura, four-month-old girl Aisha.

"NATO continues its precision strikes against military installations ... We have no specific people as targets, "he said in a statement. The Libyan government, meanwhile, accused the West of trying to "Seize the wealth of Libya," adding, in a display of cynicism, they also want to steal their freedom.
