Paris: Relatives of slain Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi will sue NATO in the International Military Court in The Hague for war crime charges, Gaddafi's family lawyer said. "NATO helicopters opened fire on (Gaddafi's) convoy. This convoy did not pose any threat to civilians. It was an operation to eliminate the Libyan leader, planned by the North Atlantic alliance," Marcel Ceccaldi was quoted as saying by France-based Europe1 radio station. The lawyer also criticized the decision to display Gaddafi's corpse at a shopping centre in Misrata for four days. Gaddafi, who ruled Libya for 42 years, died shortly after being captured alive by National Transitional Council fighters near his hometown Sirte Oct 20. The UN human rights office as well as Russia and the US have called for a probe into the leader's killing.
