RT is releasing a 2011 interview with Saif al-Islam Gaddafi who was killed on Tuesday
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, was killed on Tuesday, according to sources close to the family and Libyan media.
He had intended to run for president of Libya, which remains divided between rival governments and has been plagued by intermittent civil war since his father was killed in a US-backed uprising more than a decade ago.
In 2011, Saif al-Islam spoke to RT's Maria Finoshina, condemning NATO's bombing of Libya. He argued that the West sought to control the country's oil and gas resources and warned that the violence would not end with his father's death.
"Their goal is to control Libya. This is the target. And Libyans will not allow them to do that, so the fight will continue," he said.
He denied involvement in the killing of protesters and accused Western governments and the international media outlets of spreading lies to "create chaos" in Libya.
