What was your first reaction when you learnt of the killing of Colonel Gaddafi?

t first I could not believe it. There were so many rumours about his fleeing the country, his capture and even his death. When I got the news on Thursday last (20.10.2011), I phoned his son, Muktasem. He was crying and confirmed of this terrible news. I was shocked as well as all members of my family who met the two sons of Gaddafi, namely Muktasem in 2008 and Saadi in 2010 when they were on holiday in Mauritius. The latest news is that Saadi and Saiif are in Niger, Al Mohammad and Hanibal are in Algeria together with their sister Aisha and their mother. Muktasem and Aisha’s husband were killed as well as another son and three grand-children during the last hours of Colonel Gaddafi. This tragedy has thrown darkness in our home.

According to Islamic rites a person should be buried the soonest possible after his death, how is it that the corpse of Gaddafi was exposed for visitors?

They kept the corpse as a war trophy but more to be used as a bait to attract members of his family when they made a public statement saying that the dead body would be delivered to them. Knowing quite well that the National Transitional Council (NTC) has made a list of all family members to be killed at sight, of course nobody came to recover the dead body. With such treatment given to a Muslim Head of State, they have not only insulted the status of the man but that with such a blasphemy they have insulted at the same time Islam the world over. This has shocked television viewers all over the world, whatever their faith, even Mahmoud Djibril, the newly appointed head of the transitional government does not want to associate himself with such a cruel act.
