Seif al-Islam Captured!

The AP reported this morning that Moammar Qaddafi's son Seif al-Islam, the last at-large family member of the deposed dictator, was captured after a firefight this morning in Southern Libya while trying to flee to Niger. (Qaddafi's former intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senoussi is the last member of the regime's inner circle still at-large).

CNN has a video report on the capture here.

Seif al-Islam was reportedly in on-and-off negotiations to surrender himself to the International Criminal Court for prosecution for war crimes, a fate that likely became more enticing after witnessing what became his father.  My friend David Bosco wrote an interesting piece on Foreign Policy.com last month analyzing the difficulties of actually trying the Colonel's son.
