Rebel commanders say Khamis Gaddafi, one of Colonel Gaddafi's most feared sons, has been killed in an air strike 60km south of Tripoli.
He is said to have been in an armoured Toyota Land Cruiser when it was reportedly blasted off the road by a missile apparently from a Nato Apache helicopter.
Sky's chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay, who is at the scene, said a man claiming to be Khamis' bodyguard confirmed that he had died in the vehicle.
The explosion incinerated the 4x4 and was so intense it set nearby trees on fire, Ramsay reports.
Claims about the death of Khamis - leader of the notorious Khamis Brigade - come as the Algerian foreign minister said the dictator's wife and three of his other children had now escaped to that country.
The rebels' National Transitional Council (NTC), which is in the process of forming an administration to run the country, has said such sheltering of Col Gaddafi's family members was an "act of aggression".

Again?
This seems like the real thing. Check the link.
two to go
Gaddafi Jr. must have a Level-20 cleric to raise him from the dead so many times.
Can you imagine being the guy in charge of Toyota warranty claims in Libya, or Iraq?
I think you are right.
LOL, the cat man, has nine lives and walks on water. And for a thousand years ragtags will awake to a cat tearing out their hearts. The legend begins.
How many lives does this "cat" have?
Gaddafi was an idiot, he could of fled with his family and billions of dollars ... but instead he stayed and will end up dead along with all his family.
Live by the sword die by the hellfire.
I heard Abe Vigoda died...
Al Jazeera’s Andrew Simmons, reporting from Misrata, said that at the moment most indications pointed towards “this not [being] a valid claim”.
Quick! Someone tell me - where the hell is the OFF switch?
These Ghaddafis could have their own soap opera, with all this back-from-the-deading.
And a really good Constitution bonus
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
Remember, the rebels claimed to have killed that same son a week or two ago. They also claimed to have captured two others ... both of whom are still free. Algeria has publicly announced that Gaddafi’s wife, one daughter and two other sons are in Algeria. Algeria has not recognized the National Transitional Council and the NTC, NATO, U.N. and ICC are spitting mad about that.
Could of?
Yes! Minimally +5.
