libyan officials say he will soon be transferred to tripoli, where they want him to stand trial. the new interim prime minister reassuring the international community that his country is capable of providing a fair trial. human rights watch on saturday called on libyan authorities to treat saif al islam humanely and to hand him over to the international criminal court. "the apparent killings in custody of moammar gadhafi and his son muatassim gadhafi on october 20th are particular cause for concern about saif al islam's treatment," human rights watch stayed in a statement. the international criminal court that has built a case against saif al islam for alleged crimes against humanity says a decision will be made where he will face charges. >> the judges will decide but the rules are for the national authorities if they have a case. so we'll discuss that. i think in some way it's an easy time. the difficult time was to stop the crimes and arrest him. now it's easy. >> reporter: el campo is expected to travel to libya next week. many libyans say with the capture of the most wanted

in fact, the last time there were reports of his capture were back in august when i was in tripoli. and within a few hours of those reports being confirmed by the criminal courts, saif gadhafi appeared outside the hotel in tripoli where we were staying and we managed to talk to him. i think that was the last time that he was spoken to on camera by journalists up until his capture today. it does seem, though, that it's much firmer this time. that photograph has been distributed as you can say by the libbal authorities. they were the legibles, now they're the libyan authorities. it is coordinating and calling the libyan justice authorities to make sure some kind of solution to his trial is put forth. take a look to what lewis mareno at campo, the chief prosecutor at the icc, had to say. >> is arrested and that it's very important because we consider and the judge considers him one of the most defensible on the crimes committing libya in the 13th of february. so that's crucially important. he's arrested, he's alive. and now he will face justice. and that is the most important news. >>

in tripoli, discussing how the case can be coordinated. he has been speaking about the process to our correspondent. >> the libyan authorities informed me they want to do the case. they have to accept that. it is still in process. >> are the capable of doing that in a trial that will meet international standards? >> [inaudible] they have -- a general investigation. the rules say they should do it. >> what do you mean? >> it means they're not doing proceedings to shield [inaudible] >> human-rights organizations wanted him in trial in the hague. they say that is the only way can get a fair trial. what do you think of that? >> [inaudible] >> caroline talking to the chief prosecutor. italian court has ruled that george clooney and the real madrid footballer can be called as witnesses in the trial of silvio berlusconi. now, as lucky escapes go, this must rank pretty high. a helicopter pilot in new zealand has walked away with only minor injuries after his rollerblades were caught in cables and the craft came crashing to the ground. >> as far as

i spoke to our correspondent in tripoli just a short time ago. this has been an ongoing concern. what is being done now to track the weapons? >> well, the national transitional council, the authorities here have been very open. the mission ended officially yesterday but nato member states say they are standing by ready to come into libya and help to decommission the weapons. there are already people on the ground, u.k. and u.s. teams. the u.s. says they will bolster their team to 100 people destroying weapons in libya. there are elements of shutting the door after the horse has bolted. we are hearing about weapons depots and stashes around the country including surface-to-air missiles and there is concerns about those falling into the warm -- into the wrong hands. organizations such as al qaeda had a shopping list during the war when everything was chaotic to people on the ground. organizations like that might already have the weapons they want. whether they are inside of libya or transported out of the borders, that is not clear. there it is also the elements of chemical weapons

when tripoli fell, everything went further east. how much is still out there? we are heading east to misrata to investigate. my guide gives assurances that the weapons are safe and the rebels will not sell them. in a military compound, he shows us what they have secured. and this, one of 13 missiles salvaged from the debt. -- from the depot. picture here is a rebel fighter with face shoulder launched surface-to-air missile. -- with a shoulder launched surface-to-air missile. they were the weapon of choice for groups like al qaeda. the americans say that there could be up to 20,000 of them and they're worried that they could end up in the wrong hands. >> we're making the effort to make an investigation for all of those weapons. >> how many do you estimate our circulation? >> i cannot give you numbers but they are in the thousands. despite extraordinary access, we have seen no evidence of the portable missiles so powerful that they could bring a plane down. they could be used by a new national army. the weapons have found their way across borders. >> for more on

they say that they think it is the safest place rather than having him transferred to tripoli. what's happening at the moment is the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court is meeting with the justice minister. we were told he would be able to meet seif al-islam if you wanted to. but no one in town knows of any plan for the prosecutor of the international criminal court to come here, but he may be flown here by helicopter at a fairly short notice. seif al-islam being held here and is being well-treated. that is something human rights organizations are keen to ensure. although the international criminal courts wanted him on trial in the hague, the libyan authorities do not want that. >> thank you for that report from the western area of libya. now to syria. the syrian envoy to the u.s. was labeled it -- has labeled a u.s. draft resolution as a declaration of war. the reports that condemns the syrian government owes the conduct against protesters was sponsored by britain, germany, and france and will go to a committee on tuesday later. two football fans have been kil

i spoke with cnn's jomana karadsheh in tripoli earlier today and i said when she talked to the bodyguard what did she learn about gadhafi's final moments? >> well, erin, according to mansour daou, one of the top security officials of the gadhafi regime, they spent their time on the run in that besieged city of sirte, gadhafi's hometown. they would not stay in one place for more than three to four days. and they were moving around these abandoned houses around the city, living on very little food they could find in these houses. and toward the end he told us that the situation went from bad to worse, that their life had turned by about 180 degrees. they had no power, no water, and they lost communication with the outside world. he told us that gadhafi spent most of his time reading books that he had stacked in suitcases and writing notes that daou did not get to read. >> so those notes perhaps somewhere, which is fascinating. were you able to find out from the bodyguard how gadhafi died and what he was feeling in those last moments? i mean, when he ended up coming out of that drain pipe.

i spoke with cnn's jamana kadrasha in tripoli earlier today and i said when she talked to the bodyguard what did she learn about gadhafi's final moments? >> well, erin, according to mansour dat, one of the top security officials of the gadhafi regime, they spent their time on the run in that besieged city of sirte, gadhafi's hometown. they would not stay in one place for more than three to four days. and they were moving around these abandoned houses around the city, living on very little food they could find in these houses. and toward the end he told us that the situation went from bad to worse, that their life had turned by about 180 degrees. they had no power, no water, and they lost communication with the outside world. he told us that gadhafi spent most of his time reading books that he had stacked in suitcases and writing notes that daal did not get to read. >> so those notes perhaps somewhere, which is fascinating. were you able to find out from the bodyguard how gadhafi died and what he was feeling in those last moments? i mean, when he ended up coming out of that drain pipe. >

reporting from tripoli. >> reporter: this was part of their revolution, burning the dictator's ideology, taking its place, books they never had a chance to see. with the end of gadhafi's regime, they can enjoy things once banned, like books previously black listed now on display at this exhibition in tripoli. one of the organizers says libyans are emerging from a dark era. >> it is time to develop critical thinking to broaden their horizons. he says the upcoming period is an important one and we need educated people. >> reporter: some of the banned books include subjects like homosexuality or like this one, on human rights in the arab world. but the regime's ban was mostly on books of a religious nature like these and others on the movement. even publications like this guide containing detailed maps of the capitol were banned. the ban stemmed from the dictator's paranoia. once unthinkable, political satire ridiculing the dictator is now available. after 42 years of a cult personality dictatorship, they say libyans are thirsty. he's interested in history book, especially his own country.

that he did not want to leave sirte for two months since he got there in august before the fall of tripoli he refused to leave the city. but as the siege intensified it seems that gadhafi felt the end was near and a few hours before he was killed he decided that he wanted to leave the city to his birthplace, a village that's pretty close to sirte. so -- because according to dal, gadhafi was getting more worried and erratic. and he thinks he was getting afraid at that point. so they decided to leave in this convoy that he described as a very chaotic plan. they had absolutely no plan to fight no, plan to flee, and they just got in these cars. delayed in leaving because of an undisciplined civilian force that had dropped in numbers, according to dal. as soon as they left the city, it was daylight at that point, and they were struck by nato jets, later surrounded by the rebels, who opened fire on them, and he says he was hit by shrapnel in his back and lost consciousness, so he doesn't know what happened to gadhafi and how he died. >> so this whole question of whether it was an execution or cr
