Arthur Max: Gaddafi's Son Seif al-Islam Talks With International Court.

The International Criminal Court is in indirect negotiations with a so of the late Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi about his possible surrender for trial, the chief prosecutor said Friday. Luis Moreno-Ocampo told The Associated Press that talks were being held through intermediaries, whom he did not identify, to assure Seif al Islam Gadhafi that he would receive a fair trial, and that he could be helped to find a new country of residence, if he were acquitted, or after completing a prison sentence. He said he did not know exactly where Gadhafi is. The 39-year-old was reported to be heading through the desert to Mali, where the former Libyan intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senoussi fled Wednesday. An adviser to the president of Niger said Gadhafi should cross the border into Mali later Friday or Saturday. Gadhafi and al-Senoussi were indicted by the International Criminal Court in June for unleashing a campaign of murder and torture, to suppress the uprising against the Gadhafi regime that broke out in February. The adviser in Niger, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, said Gadhafi was driving through the desert across an invisible line that separates Algeria from Niger. He said Seif al-Islam is being aided by Tuaregs, nomadic desert dwellers who supported Gadhafi, and were angered by the manner of his death.
