Nato unable to confirm Khamis Gaddafi’s death

Khamis Gaddafi (R) is seen alongside his father Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi (C) and brother Saif al-Islam (L) in a picture held by a student near a building at Fatih University.
France, a driving force in the Nato operation in Libya, on Friday said it could not confirm reports that Muammar Gaddafi's youngest son and feared commander Khamis had been killed in an air strike.
“We don't have information to corroborate this report,” foreign ministry spokesperson Christine Fages said after a Libyan rebel spokesman said Nato had hit an operations centre in the town of Zliten killing 32, including Khamis.
Rebel military spokesman Mohammed Zawawi cited spies operating among Gaddafi's ranks and intercepted radio chatter as sources.
But there was no independent verification of Khamis's death, which has been rumoured a number of times during Libya's five month-long civil war.
If confirmed Khamis's death would be a huge blow to both the regime's military and the morale of Gaddafi's inner circle.
The 28-year-old Khamis trained at a Russian military academy and commands the eponymous and much-feared Khamis Brigade - one of the Libyan regime's toughest fighting units.
Fages said that “what Nato is doing is applying a Security Council resolution.”
“Nato is protecting civilians from attacks by the Gaddafi regime. The air strikes, which are only targeting objectives of military interest, are being carried out within this framework,” she said. - Sapa-AFP
