Libya's information minister says Muammar Qaddafi's son Muatassim has been killed in Sirte. At the same time, the country's justice minister said another Qaddafi son, his one-time heir apparent Saif al-Islam, was captured and wounded by revolutionary fighters.

Muammar Qaddafi, who ruled Libya with a dictatorial grip for 42 years until he was ousted by his own people in an uprising that turned into a bloody civil war, was killed Thursday by revolutionary fighters overwhelming his hometown, Sirte, the last major bastion of resistance two months after his regime fell.

Information Minister Mahmoud Shammam told The Associated Press by telephone that Muatassim Qaddafi, his father's former national security adviser, was dead.

Jusitce minister Mohammad al-Alagi said Thursday Saif al-Islam was shot in the leg and is in a hospital.

1. So does this mean that all his sons either dead or captured? I've lost track.

2. I forget the exact rules...

for how close someone has to be related to a Genuine International Bad Guy (tm) to not be murdered. I think it's something like 3rd great grandson or second cousin or something.

3. Is this in addition to Gaddafi himself being killed?
