Libyan rebel forces are praising the courage of an air force pilot said to have\u00a0 undertaken a \u2018kamikaze\u2019 mission on the Gaddafi compound which claimed the life of the dictator\u2019s son.<\/p>\n

Muhammad Mukhtar Osman\u2019s name and picture was posted on websites following the attack on the family\u2019s Bab al-Aziziya compound in Tripoli at the weekend.<\/p>\n

Colonel Gaddafi\u2019s son Khamis, 27, who runs the feared Khamis Brigade that has been prominent in its role of attacking rebel-held areas, is alleged to have died following the suicide air mission on his barracks.<\/p>\n

Widespread reports said the 27-year-old died of burns in hospital following the attack, but were derided as a \u2018nonsensical piece of news\u2019 by the regime.<\/p>\n

The mission may have been a possible attempt on the Libyan dictator\u2019s life, but the hated Muammar was apparently not there, and despite varying reports of when the attack is said to have taken place, rebels have praised the pilot as a \u2018martyr\u2019.<\/p>\n

he Libyan Youth Movement and other Libyan opposition websites identified the pilot as Osman, according to AOL News.<\/p>\n

\u2018This act of courage will forever be remembered. Osman is a hero to the revolution. God rest his soul,\u2019 the Libyan Youth Movement said, without making mention of Khamis\u2019 death.<\/p>\n

\u2018May his memory be blessed and may his sacrifice be rewarded by a free democratic Libya,\u2019 another caption read, alongside the same shot of the grey-haired pilot climbing into his plane.<\/p>\n

It was claimed Khamis died in the same compound hit by RAF cruise missiles hit by raids by coalition forces.<\/p>\n
