Abdullah al-Senussi — Moammar Gadhafi’s brother-in-law and intelligence chief — was captured by Libyan revolutionary forces at his brother’s house, senior National Transitional Council member Mohammed Sayeh told reporters Sunday. The announcement came a day after the NTC said Gadhafi’s son Saif al-Islam Gadhafi was captured.
Al-Senussi, like both Gadhafis, was indicted on charges of crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court over the uprising against the Gadhafi regime this year.
Libyans celebrated late into the evening Saturday the reported capture of Saif al-Islam, nabbed in a desert gun battle after an 18-day stakeout.
Senior Libyan military officials said they believe the potential Gadhafi successor was trying to make his way to neighboring Niger, where a brother, Saadi, was granted asylum.
