Service: "Libya's transitional government said Saturday that its
fighters in the southwestern desert had captured Seif al-Islam
el-Qaddafi, the last fugitive son and one-time heir apparent of Col.
Muammar el-Qaddafi. In a scene of celebration outstripped only by news
of Colonel Qaddafi's capture and death last month, Tripoli's streets
erupted in revelry. Vehicles clogged intersections, horns blaring, and
militiamen shot their rifles into the sky. Officials here in the capital
promised that Mr. Qaddafi would be closely guarded so that he could
face trial. But in a troubling echo of Colonel Qaddafi's capture a month
ago, in which he was killed while in the hands of militiamen without
ever reaching the capital, the local militias that announced Seif
al-Islam's capture on Saturday suggested they would be the brokers of
his fate, at least for now."
