Report: Libyan Delegation in Beirut to Demand Gadhafi's Release
A governmental Libyan delegation is expected to arrive in Beirut on Friday for a meeting with Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi to tackle the case of Hannibal Gadhafi, al-Akhbar daily reported.
“A delegation is expected to arrive in Beirut and will be headed by the First Adviser to the Libyan Justice Ministry and is expected to ask the Lebanese authorities to release Gadhafi,” judicial sources told the daily on condition of anonymity.
Early in December, the Lebanese judiciary issued an arrest warrant for Hannibal Moammar Gadhafi after a day of interrogation at the Justice Palace.
The sources added that the delegation will request the release of Hannibal because “he is not wanted on any charges in Libya and the Interpol memorandum that was issued against him was frozen in March at the request of the ministry.”
Hannibal was handed over to Lebanese authorities after a brief abduction in Lebanon at the hands of an armed group.
He had described his captors as "loyal to the cause of Imam Moussa al-Sadr," the founder of Lebanon's AMAL Movement who disappeared while on a trip to Libya in 1978.

It's quite ironic how the Libyan government is pushing for the release.
over 9 years
The delegation will be kidnapped in return of Ex-PM release from prison. AND so on..with the outlaws in the country roaming under the name of resistance.
Lebanese justice system is a bad joke, like the rest of Lebanon's institutions.
