09:17, 11 February 2012
LONDON. February 11. KAZINFORM One of the sons of the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has threatened to lead an uprising against the country's transitional government; BBC reported.
Saadi Gaddafi made the comments in a television interview from Niger, where he fled after his father was toppled.
He said he still had many followers in Libya, including within the ruling National Transitional Council (NTC).
Col Gaddafi, who ruled Libya for four decades - was killed in October after months of civil war.
A BBC correspondent in Tripoli says the authorities are worried about possible action by Gaddafi loyalists, but the possibility of Saadi Gaddafi leading a big uprising seems remote.
In a phone interview with al-Arabiya television, Saadi Gaddafi said he wanted to return to Libya "at any minute".
