Rebels say NATO air strike kills Gaddafi's son Khamis
Source: Reuters

(Reuters) - A rebel spokesman said on Friday that a NATO air attack in Libya's western city of Zlitan has killed 32 people, among then Muammar Gaddafi's son Khamis.

There was no immediate comment from the government or NATO and it was not immediately possible to verify the deaths.

Khamis is head of Libya's 32nd Brigade, one of Gaddafi's most professional and loyal units, which has been fighting in Zlitan, which lies between the rebel-held city of Misrata and the capital Tripoli.

The government said earlier this year that a NATO air strike had killed another of Gaddafi's sons, Saif al-Arab.
