Gaddafi and his kids put Baghdad Bob to shame.

(Telegraph) — Libyan government bombing raids on Brega were a “big misunderstanding” designed to scare off rebels, according to Saif al-Islam, son of Col Muammar Gaddafi.

In an interview with Sky News, Saif said: “First of all the bombs (were) just to frighten them to go away. Not to kill them.

“I’m talking about the harbour and the oil refinery there. Nobody would allow the militia to control Brega. It’s like allowing someone to control Rotterdam harbour in Holland.

His comments came as the International Criminal Court announced that Col Gaddafi and key aides will be investigated over allegations they committed crimes against humanity while fending off the uprising in Libya.
