War crimes court: Libya wants to keep Gaddafi son

The Libyan government on Tuesday formally challenged the International Criminal Court's right to try Muammar Gaddafi's son for war crimes, arguing that he should face justice on Libyan soil despite concerns he may not receive a fair trial there.

It also asked The Hague, Netherlands-based court to drop its demands to hand over Seif al-Islam Gaddafi while it considers the challenge. (AP)
