It has been reported Gaddafi's son Saif Al-Islam,who once vowed to die fighting on Libyan soil, is considering turning himself into the International Criminal Court rather than suffer his father's fate.
A National Transitional Council official said Saif Al-Islam may be ready to turn himself in to the International Criminal Court in the Hague where he is wanted for war crimes.
Educated at the London School of Economics, Saif Al-Islam was once seen as the acceptable Western-friendly face of Libya. Adding to that was his reputation for philanthropy and the fact that he often appeared to disagree with the senior Gaddafi's leadership style.
