That is an interesting comment. It makes one wonder why he is not dead.
It is reasonable to assume that for some reason, he is being spared, perhaps by the friends in question both in and out of Libya.
I suspect he is being “spared” because a great deal of gold is being paid to the desert tribal chiefs who are sheltering him out there in “tatooine-land”
I also suspect there are high-level British and other political figures who want to make sure Saif never survives to talk and reveal embarrassing connections.
Can't imagine why!
