There were scenes of joy in Tripoli today after Muammar Gaddafi's son and heir apparent Saif al-Islam was captured in the southern desert of Libya.He was arrested with several bodyguards near the town of Obari by fighters based in the western mountain town of Zintan.
A photograph, released earlier this afternoon, shows him sat in a prison cell on a bed, under a blanket, with heavily bandaged fingers.
It appears to reveal he is now missing several fingers on his right hand - backing up previous reports he had the digits blown off in an attack.He was flown to Zintan, where upon landing a mob tried to storm his aircraft. He will be tried in Libya, rather than being sent to the International Criminal Court in The Hague
