Fighters encircle Gaddafi son's presumed refuge

Libyan revolutionary fighters are surrounding an area where a fugitive son of Muammar Gaddafi, Saif al-Islam, is believed to have taken refuge, a military commander of the interim National Transitional Council (NTC) said on Sunday.

The commander, Abdel Majid Mlegta, told Reuters fighters were deploying around a place south of the town of Bani Walid where they believed Saif al-Islam was hiding following his flight from his father's hometown of Sirte on Thursday. (Reuters)
