Saif Al-Islam – the Quintessential Survivor

How did Muammar Qaddafi's oldest son manage to survive his father on the fateful Thursday, Oct. 20?  Both were in the same convoy fleeing Sirte and bombed.  This question is addressed by DEBKA-Net-Weekly in its latest issue out Friday. It also goes back in time and describes how Saif clawed his way back to Tripoli from the exile imposed on him by the late dictator.  Qaddafi never trusted him or appointed him heir apparent.
