In Libya, officials said Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, the son of the late strongman Moammar Gadhafi, has died. The 53-year-old was reportedly found shot to death, though further details are scarce. Before his father was toppled and killed in the 2011 uprising, Seif was a public defender of his family’s regime. The country has been fractured by civil war and a fragile ceasefire since. The World’s Host Marco Werman learned more from Libya analyst Jalel Harchaoui. He joined the show from Tripoli in Libya.
