Kadhafi's son rejects Swiss compensation offer
It's jihad or bust.
Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi's son Hannibal on Thursday dismissed a Swiss regional government's compensation offer to ease a two-year diplomatic row over his arrest, in an interview with AFP.
"I am not seeking financial compensation and it will not do me justice," said Hannibal Kadhafi, who lashed out at Switzerland and its foreign minister, calling for her to be thrown into Lake Geneva.
"International arbitration is our just demand and there is no doubt that it?s coming," he said.
Hannibal and his pregnant wife were briefly arrested in July 2008 on suspicion of mistreating two of their domestic staff at a Geneva hotel.
Swiss public television channel SFTV on Tuesday showed court documents in which the Geneva government accepted responsibility for the leak to a newspaper of Hannibal's police mugshots.
Poor baby was embarrassed by leaked mugshot. For beating up the help? Not so much.
