Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of Libya's former leader, has been arrested in a desert town in the southwest of the country. He was captured by fighters from Zintan, in the northwest where he's been taken. The National Transitional Council said he'd been trying to reach neighbouring Niger. Rana Jawad reports from Tripoli.

Saif al-Islam was captured by fighters in the early hours of the morning. He was found in the southern oasistown of Obari along with some of his aides. Saif al-Islam was later flown to Zintan, in the western mountains of Libya. Pictures of him have emerged showing an apparent hand injury which he claims was sustained in a Nato air strike last month. It's not clear where Saif al-Islam will be taken to next, but for now celebrations of his capture are likely to continue well into the night across the country.
