The International Criminal Court's (ICC) chief prosecutor said that Libya could try Muammar Gaddafi’s son Seif al-Islam, but the court’s judges should be involved.

Speaking at a news conference in Tripoli, Luis Moreno-Ocampo said it was very important for Libya that Seif al-Islam would tried inside Libya.

"Seif is captured so we are here to ensure co-operation," Moreno-Ocampo said.
"If they [Libyans] prosecute the case, we will discuss with them how to inform the judges, and they can do it, but our judges have to be involved."

The ICC earlier this year issued a warrant for Seif al-Islam's arrest on charges of crimes against humanity.

Seif was arrested on Saturday in southern Libya and is being held by fighters in the mountain town of Zintan, southwest of the Libyan capital.
