This is all we have on Saif al-Islam??? I'm adding an External link - a really good one. Simesa 05:39, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
It is very strange that his mother is not mentioned. Who is she? Is she unknown? Jahibadkaret ( talk) 00:29, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
The article was today moved by Alwad7 from Saif al-Islam al-Gaddafi on the basis that Saif is "widely known as" Saif al-Islam Muammar. Please provide a citation to justifying this move.--- PJHaseldine ( talk) 12:01, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

The word 'extemporaneous' in the first sentence of the "2011 Libyan protests" section should be deleted, or at least taken in quotes. As can be seen in this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piEslrLNSoQ - he is repeatedly glancing at something lying on the desk in front of him. Could it be... I don't know... a list of points to make?..
Also, I don't know if the exact time the speech began is all that important. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.92.180.248 ( talk) 15:25, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Our article on LSE Libya Links asserts he has a Masters in Pol Philosophy from LSE. Do we have any ref on this? ( Msrasnw ( talk) 20:49, 12 March 2011 (UTC))
The BBC are reporting that it is the sixth son (born 1982) and not this one, the second one, who has died in a NATO attack. Confusingly that are both called Saif. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.148.68.45 ( talk) 22:54, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

He hasn't been captured by rebel forces, and has appeared greeting Gaddafi loyalists and by journalists held by the govenrment in the Rixo Hotel in Tripoli. Sky news article-- Welshsocialist ( talk) 01:39, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
He may have been in custody and then escaped, as Muhammed is reported to have done. This is speculation I'm hearing on Al Jazeera Live. Nothing citable. Editrix71 ( talk) 02:14, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
Another possibiity could be that some sources were lying about the incident in the first place. Who really knows? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.92.116.199 ( talk) 06:01, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
I've actually heard another NTC representative stating today that it was a tactic to know where he is. I lost track and didn't write the time and name. Just waiting to see if any media repeats the statement. ~ AdvertAdam talk 20:40, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
We need an update with regard to the status of his PhD. Given the embarrassment caused to the LSE by its financial links to the Gadaffis, you would think they would go ahead and revoke his PhD over the plagiarism that has been demonstrated, so as to distance themselves from him and cling to whatever shreds of academic integrity they have left at that institution. The article says that pressure has been put on the LSE, but there is nothing about the outcome of this. Could anyone who knows update the article? Beorhtwulf ( talk) 16:56, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
Every piece of work has a plagiarism rating when it is run through detection software such as TurnItIn. 6% is actually an exceptionally low score - one that would normally be accounted for by references, quotations, and short phrases that the software failed to exclude. To imply that a 6% rating is 'plagiarism' is absurd: the reference to Channel 4 'finding' that 6% of the thesis was "copied from other sources" should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.15.222.151 ( talk) 16:50, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
According to the Bulgarian bTV (alturl.com/wjwuf) Gaddafi's son, Saif al-Islam, offered to surrender to The Hague Court with the former head of Libyan intelligence, Abdullah AS Senusi. Is there another more reliable source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.187.184.95 ( talk) 16:46, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
This was said not to a congressional aide, but during an interview with a western news organisation after the execution of Saddam Hussein and when Gaddafi was considered "an important ally" and "a peacemaker in Africa". There was the full interview on YouTube a couple of years ago, but I've been unable to find it now. The interviewer was female, but I cannot recall which organisation she belonged to. Think it was the BBC. It made very interesting viewing. 78.133.124.10 ( talk) 14:53, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Who was "drunken and drugged"? The tribals? The Islamists? Saif? -- Error ( talk) 20:23, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
What is the deal with whether or not Saif al-Islam is sought by the ICC to stand trial? It seems difficult to find a clear ICC 'wanted' list. Has he been indicted? Is Libya in default of its obligations by not handing him over? If a person had information about his whereabouts is this information the ICC would be interested in? If he turned up in another country would that country be required to hand him over to the ICC? It seems inconceivable that he has just slipped out of prison quietly and that's the end of the matter. Beorhtwulf ( talk) 13:27, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
It was said that he was recently released due to a general amnesty. Can someone confirm this and then add it to the article? So far only the Figaro reported it and I do not speak french so I can not verify it. 2A02:8388:1641:3580:BE5F:F4FF:FECD:7CB2 ( talk) 21:47, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
