TRIPOLI / SIRTE, Libya -Libyan government fighters have captured Muammar Gadhafi's son Mo'tassim as he tried to escape the battle-torn city of Sirte, National Transitional Council (NTC) officials said.

The capture of the deposed leader's national security adviser, and the first member of the Gadhafi family, is a big boost to Libya's new rulers whose forces are still battling pro-Gadhafi fighters in his home town of Sirte.

"He was arrested today in Sirte," Colonel Abdullah Naker said on Wednesday. Other NTC sources said Mo'tassim was taken to Benghazi where he was questioned at the Boatneh military camp where he is being held. He was uninjured but exhausted.
