Saif al-Islam Gaddafi has been killed by unidentified assassins at his home, ending a decade of speculation about his potential return to political power in Libya.
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the second son of the late Muammar Gaddafi, was assassinated Tuesday at his private residence in Zintan. A small team of gunmen reportedly breached his security and opened fire in his garden. His death marks a definitive end to the political movement that sought to restore his family’s influence over the fractured North African nation.
The precision strike was carried out by four individuals who “quickly fled the scene after shooting him in his garden,” according to family sources. While no group has claimed responsibility, the hit occurred amid intense regional instability. Gaddafi had remained a polarizing figure, previously warning that “rivers of blood” would run through the country during the 2011 uprising.
