Muammar Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam has been captured in the Libyan desert by fighters who vow to hold him in the mountain town of Zintan until there is a government to hand him over to.
Crowds across the country fired guns and hooted car horns to celebrate the seizure of the British-educated 39-year-old, who a year ago appeared a possible successor to rule the oil-producing desert state.
Hundreds of people crowded round the plane carrying him after it landed in Zintan, trapping him inside and raising fears he might suffer a similar fate to his father, who was beaten and shot after his capture a month ago on Sunday.
Saif al-Islam was later taken away uninjured and Prime Minister-designate Abdurrahim El-Keib promised that Gaddafi's son would face a fair trial.
"We assure Libyans and the world that Saif al-Islam will receive a fair trial ... under fair legal processes which our own people had been deprived of for the last 40 years," Keib told a press conference in Zintan.
Saif al-Islam, who had vowed to die fighting but was taken without a struggle, was arrested overnight, officials said.
"At the beginning he was very scared. He thought we would kill him," Ahmed Ammar, one of his captors, told Reuters.
Saif al-Islam told a Reuters reporter on his plane he had wounded his hand during a NATO air strike a month ago. Asked if he was feeling all right, Gaddafi said simply: "Yes."
