Aisha seeks death certificate

Lawyers for the daughter of Muammar Gaddafi have filed a formal petition at the International Criminal Court seeking an authorised copy of the former Libyan leader's death certificate. According to ABC news, Aisha Gaddafi’s lawyer Nick Kaufman said on Wednesday the move is intended in part to show that Libya's National Transitional Council isn't capable of holding a fair trial for her brother Saif al-Islam, who was arrested in the country's remote southern desert in November. The war crimes court in The Hague, Netherlands has previously told Aisha, who is in Algeria, to seek information via Libya's new authorities. But Kaufman sid no part of the new government responded to her requests for basic information about her father's death usually accorded to relatives, and it was not clear where she should apply.
