The rebel military leader of Tripoli, Abdelhakim Belhaj, has said that one of Gaddafi's son al Saddi called him two hours ago and asked if he can surrender.

Al Jazzera's James Bays, reporting from Tripoli said: “We asked him [Abdelhakim Belhaj] about the military situation, remaining members of the Gaddafi family, and he said that he believes one of Gaddafi's sons, al Saddi, is preparing to surrender.

"According to Belhaj, Saddi doesn't want to leave Libya, he wants to talk to the national council and negotiate his surrender. He thinks he knows the whereabouts of Saddi Gaddafi from the phone call. Also says he believes some senior figures of the government are now ready to surrender, such as the former prime minister.

"Belhaj made a point of saying that any of those who do surrender will be treated properly, and court cases will be held to international norms. Belhaj thought that Muammar Gaddafi is less likely to surrender, but would be treated fairly if he did. He would be held in custody with proper human rights. The rest of the family are taking temporary refuge in Algeria before they go to some third country.”

Gaddafi family members flee

Earlier on Monday, some members of Gaddafi's family had fled the country and gone to Algeria.

Authorities there confirmed on Tuesday that Gaddafi's second wife Safia, his daughter Aisha, and his sons Muhammad and Hannibal were in Algeria and had been granted permission to enter based on "humanitarian grounds".

According to AFP news agency, Aisha gave birth to a girl while in Algeria.

Mahmoud Shammam, information minister in Libya's rebel government, told the Associated Press news agency that he considered Algeria's harbouring of Hannibal an act of aggression.

Surrendering to this jihadi junta now in charge in Libya will result in the swift removal of his head.

You may want to start here.

Well, from the first article I read he sounds like a very mixed bag. As a soccer player got into trouble by failing a drug test. Wanted to build an international city between Tripoli and Tunisia border with religious tolerance including churches and synagogues. Was with his brother Khamis in Special Forces. They found gay porn in his quarters when it was entered this week. Oh, boy, what next??

Many roles for al Saddi. The interviews were complete opposites from the brothers (regarding post at other link). Guess this was to be expected. Aisha maybe is the key to understanding why the interview was played by the brothers in this manner. She (Aisha) could be one of the heads on this two headed snake with her father? Unknown, but would not surprise. Confusion is another key to turn in war. Do not know if she (Aisha) is a master, though the key of confusion has been turned ... imho

Any ones guess.
