Wanted cousin of Libya's Gadhafi arrested in Cairo

01/01/0001

Egyptian police arrested Ahmed Gaddaf al-Dam, a cousin of Moamar Gadhafi, who is wanted in Libya for his role in the regime of the slain Libyan strongman, Egyptian state media reported.
Gaddaf al-Dam, reached on his cell phone, however sought to play down the arrest and said he would file a complaint with the Egyptian public prosecutor and Libyan authorities.
"I am on my way now, in the company of lawyers," he said.
A security official and state television said Gaddaf al-Dam surrendered to police after they besieged his home. A news agency reported he will be handed over to Libyan authorities, who want to put him on trial.
Police outside his apartment in the upscale Cairo neighbourhood of Zamalek said Gaddaf al-Dam surrendered without a struggle after police sent up the Libyan consul to persuade him.
Shortly after the start of the uprising that toppled Kadhafi, Qaddaf al-Dam had announced he had resigned from all official functions.
Until then, Gaddaf al-Dam, who had permanent residence in Cairo, oversaw Libya's relations with Egypt.
