Tripoli: Libyan President Myuammar Gaddafi’s son was reportedly killed in allied forces air strikes in Tripoli, foreign news agency reported.
According to the news agency, Khamis Gaddafi was killed in coalition forces air strikes in Tripoli.
Khamis Gaddafi who was allegedly injured on Saturday when a Libyan Air Force pilot deliberately ploughed his jet into a compound in Tripoli where Gaddafi and some of his family were staying sons died in a Tripoli hospital of suffering severe burn wounds, a German website reported. Khamis, aged 32 was Gaddafi’s sixth son.
The news comes as Western forces launched a second wave of air strikes on Gaddafi’s positions under a UN resolution authorizing military action to protect Libyan civilians.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Monday called the resolution “defective and flawed,” but it remains unclear why Russia, which opposed Western intervention in Libya from the start, did not use its power to veto the move.
