| 2013-04-22 |
| [An Nahar] Egypt will try a cousin and top aide of slain Libyan leader Muammar Qadaffy ...Custodian of Wheelus AFB for 42 long years until he was ejected from the gene pool by his indignant citizens... on charges of attempted murder, although Libyan authorities are pressing for his extradition, Egyptian state media reported on Sunday. Ahmed Qaddaf al-Dam, incarcerated Please don't kill me! in Cairo in March after a shootout with police in his apartment, has been incarcerated Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! in Egypt since, despite Libyan demands for his extradition so he could be put on trial on forgery charges. A judge referred Qaddaf al-Dam "to the Cairo criminal court on charges of attempted murder and resisting authorities and unlicensed weapons possession," the MENA news agency reported. Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... had lodged an appeal earlier this month against an Egyptian court ruling blocking his extradition to Libya. The court ruled that Qaddaf al-Dam should be tried in Egypt. On the day of his arrest, Qaddaf al-Dam and his bodyguards allegedly fired a hail of bullets at masked coppers who stormed his apartment in an upscale Cairo neighborhood, a witness told Agence La Belle France Presse. MENA reported a policeman was maimed in the exchange of fire. The Libyan prosecutor's front man, Taha Baara, had told AFP that Tripoli issued an international arrest warrant for Qaddaf al-Dam for "forging documents". |
