Saif al-Islam, the son of deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, will appear in court on Thursday in the town of Zintan, where a militia has held him since his capture in November 2011, a local council official said.
Saif al-Islam is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on war crimes charges, but his court appearance relates to charges that he gave information to an ICC lawyer last year that could endanger national security.
