		</div><p>Saif al-Islam, the son and one-time heir apparent of late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, has been released after more than five years in detention, his captors said.</p>
<p>A statement by his captors, the Abu Bakr al-Siddiq Battalion, said Saif al-Islam was released on Friday, but gave no details on his whereabouts. Battalion officials at Zintan, a town south of the capital Tripoli, confirmed his release. They declined to disclose his whereabouts, citing concerns over his safety. They said his release was decided as part of a recent pardon issued by the Libyan parliament based in the country&#8217;s eastern region.</p>
<p>The parliament in the city of Tobruk is part of one of three rival administrations in Libya, evidence of the chaos that has prevailed in the country since Gaddafi&#8217;s ousting and death. Gaddafi&#8217;s son was captured by the battalion&#8217;s fighters late in 2011, the year when a popular uprising toppled Gaddafi after more than 40 years in power. He was later killed.</p>
<p>The uprising later plunged the oil-rich North African nation into a ruinous civil war in which Saif al-Islam led Gaddafi&#8217;s loyalist forces against the rebels.</p>
