Libya's official news agency says the imprisoned son of slain dictator Muammar Gaddafi has made his first appearance in a local court on charges of harming state security, attempting to escape prison and insulting the nation's new flag.
LANA says on Thursday's trial of Seif al-Islam Gaddafi, the ousted leader's longtime heir apparent, was held in the western town of Zintan where he is being held by militiamen. LANA says the trial is linked to his June meeting with an International Criminal Court delegation accused of smuggling documents to him. The delegation included a lawyer assigned by ICC to represent Seif al-Islam in a separate case in which he is charged with crimes against humanity.
