Gaddafi relatives granted asylum in Oman

OMAN has granted asylum to some members of Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi’s family, two of whom are wanted by Interpol, an Omani official has revealed, but Libya said it was too early to talk about any possible extradition requests.

Algeria said last week that the widow of the late Libyan leader and three of his children had long since left its territory, without saying where they had gone.

An Omani government official said yesterday: “Gaddafi’s wife, two sons and a daughter, as well as their children have been in Oman since October.”
