Moscow: The International Criminal Court (ICC) would seek warrants for Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and his son Monday, an ICC prosecutor told Spain’s Cadena Ser radio, RIA Novosti reported.
ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo said he would seek warrants for Gaddafi, his son Saif al Islam and the country’s intelligence chief, Abdullah al Senussi, for crimes against humanity.
Meanwhile, Gaddafi issued an audio address on the national TV Friday evening, dismissing rumours that he was injured in NATO’s recent raid and saying he was in a place “out of NATO’s reach.”
“You will never be able to kill me, because I live where you cannot reach and cannot kill me – in the hearts of millions of people,” Gaddafi said in his address to “the cowardly crusader”.
“Even if you eliminate me physically, I’ll live in the hearts of millions,” he added.
However, Gaddafi’s audio remarks failed to convince western media that the Libyan strongman was in perfect health.
A week ago, the NATO air strike on a wealthy residential area in Tripoli killed Gaddafi’s youngest son, Saif al-Arab, 29. The air strike on Gaddafi’s house also killed three of his grandchildren as well as several friends and neighbours, Libyan state-run JANA news agency earlier reported.
