BENGHAZI, Libya, Oct. 28 (UPI) -- Saif al-Islam Gadhafi, one of Moammar Gadhafi's surviving sons, has been in touch with the International Criminal Court, the chief prosecutor said Friday.
Saif is believed to be in Niger. Luis Moreno-Ocampo told CNN no one at the court knows his exact location and would not say who was involved in "informal conversations" about his possible surrender.

"We believe we have a strong case

Moammar Gadhafi was captured in Sirte last week and killed under circumstances that are still murky. Libya has retreated from a claim he was killed by cross fire and says it will prosecute those suspected of killing him after his capture.
Videos -- including images of a wounded Gadhafi apparently being sodomized with a stick or a knife or some other spike-shaped weapon -- caused widespread revulsion outside the country and strong denunciations by the transitional government's international backers.
National Transitional Council Vice Chairman Abdel Hafiz Ghoga
