Libyan rebels said one of Muammar Gaddafi's sons, Khamis, whose death has been announced several times since the conflict erupted, may have been killed a day ago in a clash with rebels.
On Saturday, a brigade of rebel fighters in the city of Tarhuna, 80 kilometres southeast of the capital Tripoli "intercepted a military convoy which had several brand new Mercedes vehicles", rebel military spokesman Ahmed Omar Bani told reporters in Benghazi.
"As our fighters were trying to block the passing of the convoy, they were violently attacked and shot at," he said.
"The brigade in Tarhuna responded and hit two vehicles in the convoy, killing their occupants. We faced strong resistance (from the pro-Gaddafi convoy) to protect these two cars which is why they were totally destroyed and burned with their occupants caught in the crossfire," Bani said.
He said "it is very difficult to identify the charred bodies, but the soldiers captured on the spot told us that they were bodyguards of Khamis Gaddafi."
