Libya: Libyan Attorney General Al-Siddiq Al-Sour launched an investigation on Wednesday into the killing of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Libyan official said that Saif al-Islam was killed in Libya's western city of Zintan on Tuesday.

According to Anadolu Agency, a statement by the Attorney General's Investigation Office said investigators 'examined the scene of Saif al-Islam's killing, seized items, interviewed witnesses, and anyone who could provide clarification regarding the incident.' Forensic doctors also examined Saif al-Islam's body, it added.
