Saif al-Islam Gadhafi, the son and former heir-apparent of murdered Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, was captured at a checkpoint in the desert near the town of Obari at around 1:30 a.m. He was later transported to the western mountain town on Zintan. According to Reuters, Gadhafi was afraid he'd be killed like his father. "At the beginning he was very scared. He thought we would kill him," one of his captors said. Asked by a reporter if he was physically okay, Gadhafi answered, "Yes." According to the Times, news of his capture caused massive celebrations in Tripoli. more ›

Convicted Lockerbie bomber, Abdel Basset al-Megrahi, couldn't bother to speak with a CNN reporter at his Libyan home in August. Since his release by Scottish authorities for "compassionate" reasons 2009, he's been bedridden by prostate cancer. But Reuters was able to visit Megrahi's sick bed, and wouldn't you know it, the convicted murderer of 270 people in 1988 is fiestier than ever. "The facts [about the Lockerbie bombing] will be come clear one day…The West exaggerated my name. Please leave me alone. I only have a few more days, weeks, or months." Years, whatever. more ›

Former British prime minister Tony Blair secretly met with deposed dictator Moammer Gadhafi—even flying to the country on one of Gadhafi's private jets—in 2008 and in 2009, one day before Lockerbie bomber Abdel Basset al-Megrahi's prisoner release form was signed. In correspondence and email found by the Telegraph, Blair refers to Gadhafi as "The Leader," and also met with the chairman of Libya's state-owned National Oil Company. "These new meetings between Mr. Blair and Gadhafi are disturbing, and details of what was discussed should now be made public," Oliver Miles, former British ambassador to Libya said. "I am astonished Tony Blair continued to have meetings like this out of office." more ›

On the anniversary of his 42nd year as dictator today, Syrian television broadcast an audio recording made by the country's hidden leader, Moammer "You'll Never Catch Me Or The Spelling Of My Name" Gadhafi.

"This is something we will not allow the traitors to do—let Libya be occupied and suppressed and humiliated." more ›

The European Union is preparing for a "post-Gadhafi" era; the United Nations Secretary General is working to facilitate Libya's transition; and Egypt, Oman and Bahrain have formally recognized the rebel authorities. There's just one problem (okay, myriad problems): That rascally Moammer Gadhafi remains at large! And yesterday his son—who was supposedly in the hands of the rebels—strolled into the luxury hotel where many reporters are staying/trapped and took several of them on a drive through parts of Tripoli still under the regime’s control. "We have broken the backbone of the rebels," he told BBC, adding that the rebels had fallen into a trap. more ›
