Why does this feel like Saddam Hussein all over again? It may only get worse from here after the dictator’s 29-year old son Seif al-Arab Gadhafi has been killed. This just in from various news outlets:
Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi escaped a NATO missile strike in Tripoli on Saturday, but his youngest son and three grandchildren under the age of 12 were killed, a government spokesman said. The strike, which came hours after Gadhafi called for a cease-fire and negotiations in what rebels called a publicity stunt, marked an escalation of international efforts to prevent the Libyan regime from regaining momentum.
Gadhafi’s children had been increasingly engaged in covering up scandals fit for a “Libyan soap opera,” including negative publicity from extravagant displays of wealth such as a million-dollar private concert by pop diva Beyonce, according to a batch of diplomatic cables released by the secret-spilling WikiLeaks website. But Seif al-Arab remained largely in the shadows, although he had a penchant for fast cars and partying when outside Libya.
Some in Libya are already questioning whether the news is true, but one thing’s for certain if he’s not dead, his life is in serious danger.
