Saif, who was born in Tripoli June 25, 1972 as the oldest son of Ghadafi's second wife or the second child of Gaddafi's children. In 1995 he earned a bachelor architects and engineers from the University of Al-Fateh. And since then, he was popular with the name "Engineer Saif".
After becoming an architect, he was assigned by his father to arrange the city by drawing the vast complex of buildings which full of facilities, hotels, mosques, and transportation. Five years later he continued his school at the International Business School, Vienna and obtained a doctorate at the London School of Economics, UK.
He established a charitable foundation, Gaddafi Foundation for Development in 1997 ago and became an ambassador of humanity. Through his foundation, he was headed to the international stage. In 2000, he managed to free hostages in the Philippines by the rebels.
Saif who is fluent in English, German and a little French has many hobbies, ranging from maintaining the lions, fishing, horseback riding, and painting.
Saif al-Islam has no official position in the Libya government, but he was relied upon by his father to normalize the Libyan relations with the west that had been disconnected. Even in August 2007, he announced to reform the Libya. "Libya will not become a dynasty or monarchy, and no country will also be a dictator," he said as quoted by the Telegraph.
In August 2008 he resigned from the Libyan political frenetic. But the political situation in Libya in early February 2011 has made himself into a vocal and supported the military action which was conducted by his father.
Almost for a month he was hiding and was eventually arrested by the Libyan transitional government troops in Obari city, south of Libya. Previously, there has been negotiations about his surrender to the ICC, but it has not eventuated yet until finally he was arrested on Saturday, November 19, 2011.
The NTC Law Minister, Mohammed al-Allagui said when he was caught, Saif was escorted by a number of bodyguards. He was then taken to the Zintan in northern Libya. When he was caught, his health in good condition. Zintan brigade commander, during a press conference said that Saif was arrested when he tried to escape into Niger. (Hello Saadi, how are you there?)
Saif is pictured sitting in a plane in Zintan on 19 November 2011. Saif told Reuters that he was feeling fine after being captured by some of the fighters who overthrew his father and he said injuries to his right hand were suffered during a NATO air strike a month ago.

Despite calls for local justice, Gaddafi should be tried at the ICC
It is crucial for the maintenance of international justice that Muammar Gaddafi, his son Saif al-Islam Gaddafi and Abdullah al-Senussi are transferred to The Hague.
Libyan government looks like a hero who wakes up in the morning before noon and suddenly aware of a matter of law when giving the report. "ICC, this is Saif. We have found him and arrested him, then how and what now?"
If I were the ICC, I would answer, "Thank you. You look good today. Have you had enough to eat and quite full? We do not suspect how you attempt to impose a legal system that can be fair in your country, because of your own legal system may still need to be reformed. And do not forget one thing, you and your people are getting a new government regime by killing your previous leader of the ruling regime without due process of law.
Do you want to know what will we do after this? We will prosecute you, too, because you also have committed the violations of human rights by persecuting and killing Gaddafi. Do not you realize that before you killed him, Gaddafi is a fugitive to the ICC? Why did you ignore the law and judge him by your own way, by killing him? If your people are the culprit, indeed we could not possibly arrest your people. But you are the government in charge of your people's movement against the Gaddafi regime, so you are going to our court." (Hahahahaa...
and I laughed like a demon that is still moping until today because I have not found the justice in Libya. I do not believe in justice in Libya because the Libya itself obtains its "artificial victory" by unfair manner. I worry Saif will die in prison because he might be tortured or his food would be poisoned by irresponsible people, just like the irresponsible hands on Gaddafi's assassination!)I do not know how the efforts of the night sky to defeat the cloudy, because it is not easy to distinguish the color of the night sky and cloudy in the night. But at least, I was hoping it would not rain today.
