Gaddafi's son: Moussa Koussa in UK due to 'illness'

Saif al-Islam, son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, denied reports Tuesday claiming Libya's foreign minister Moussa Koussa defected the country and left for Britain via Tunisia.

According to the BBC interview with Al-Islam, the minster was allowed to travel because he was an old and sick man and needed treatment. (AFP)
