Qaddafi’s Son Hannibal Freed From Decade of Detention in Lebanon

A son of former Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi was freed in Lebanon, almost a decade after he was detained on accusations that he had a role in the 1970s disappearance of a prominent Islamic cleric during his father’s reign.

Hannibal Qaddafi was released on bail of $893,000, according to the Lebanese state-run news agency NNA. He had been in custody after being charged with “withholding information” in the case of the kidnapping of Musa al-Sadr and two of his associates, NNA reported.
