The funeral of the youngest son of Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi has taken place in the capital, Tripoli.<\/p>\n

Libya says Saif al-Arab, 29, and three of Col Gaddafi’s grandchildren died on Saturday when Nato missiles hit his villa in the leader’s compound.<\/p>\n

His funeral was attended by several thousand people as Nato planes circled in the skies above.<\/p>\n

Mourners chanted calls for revenge as the coffin, wrapped in a green Libyan flag, was lowered into the ground.<\/p>\n

Visible emotion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Col Gaddafi did not attend Saif al-Arab’s funeral but two other sons, Saif al-Islam and Mohammed, dressed in traditional Libyan garb, both paid their respects at the ceremony.<\/p>\n

The BBC’s Christian Fraser, in Tripoli, says that Saif al-Islam arrived at the funeral in a heavily armoured vehicle and said there was visible emotion on his face as the covered remains of his brother were interred.<\/p>\n

The villa in Col Gaddafi’s compound was severely damaged in the strike<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Libyan officials said Col Gaddafi and his wife were in his Bab al-Aziziya compound at the time of the attack, overnight on Saturday, but escaped unharmed.<\/p>\n

Nato officials have acknowledged that there had been a strike in Tripoli late on Saturday.<\/p>\n

But they have denied that they were hunting Col Gaddafi to break a stalemate between troops who remain loyal to him and rebels who seek to remove him from power.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, forces loyal to Col Gaddafi were reported to have shelled the rebel-held town of Zintan late on Monday evening.<\/p>\n

A rebel spokesman told Reuters that at least 10 Grad rockets landed on the town.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
