Background

The daughter of slain Libyan strongman Moamer Kadhafi has asked the International Criminal Court if it will probe the killing of her father and her brother, her lawyer said Wednesday.

Aisha Kadhafi's lawyer Nick Kaufman said he had written to ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo asking for more information on the October 20 killing of Moamer Kadhafi and his son Muatassim Kadhafi. "Aisha wants to know if he is investigating the murders and if not, why he is not," Kaufman told AFP.

The former dictator and his son were killed after their capture by forces loyal to the National Transitional Council.

In a letter to the prosecutor, Kaufman wrote that Moamer and Muatassim Kadhafi were captured alive at a time when they threatened no one. They were both killed soon after and their bodies put on display.

"As you are aware, your analysis of the situation in Libya requires you to investigate the commission of alleged crimes by all parties to the conflict," Kaufman said.

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has said the death of Col Muammar Gaddafi may have been a "war crime."

Mr Moreno-Ocampo said how the ICC proceeds over Gaddafi's death, and other potential war crimes, will depend on what Libya's interim government does. The ICC only steps in if national authorities are unwilling or unable to act.
