Saif al-Islam Gaddafi:

I am here to disperse the rumours ... This is a war of technology and electronics to cause chaos and terror in Libya. They also brought in armed gangs by sea and by road.

He was referring to a text message sent to mobile phone subscribers in Tripoli on Monday congratulating them on the fall of Muammar Gaddafi.

Saif also said he did not care about an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court in The Hague seeking him and his father for crimes against humanity. - Reuters
