"REPORTING FROM BEIRUT -- Forces loyal to Libya's provisional government have captured Seif Islam Kadafi, fugitive son and onetime heir apparent of Libya's late ruler, Moammar Kadafi, according to news agency accounts from Libya.
A militia commander told a press conference that Seif Islam was caught with a pair of aides near the southern Libyan city of Sabha, some 400 miles south of Tripoli, the Associated Press reported.
The prize captive has been taken to the Libyan city of Zintan, home of one of Libya's largest revolutionary brigades, said the commander, Bashir Tlayeb, the AP reported.
The AP reported that celebratory gunfire resounded in the Libyan capital as word spread of the arrest of the only member of the Kadafi family still at large. Libya TV aired a photo that purports to show Seif al-Islam in custody, sitting by a bed and holding up three bandaged fingers as a guard looks on, the AP said."
