Moamer Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam might still be alive and trying to escape Libya, Libyan fighters said on Friday, contradicting earlier reports of his death along with his father.

A senior commander told broadcaster Al Arabiya that a convoy of 19 vehicles had entered the Aziziya town, around 60 kilometres south-west of Tripoli. Saif al-Islam was believed to be hiding in the convoy, he added.

Gaddafi and his son Moutassem were killed on Thursday by National Transitional Council fighters in Sirte, 200 kilometers east of the capital. Pictures of their bodies were published by the council, DPA reported.

The fate of Saif al-Islam has not been confirmed yet.
