Informal talks are underway between a fugitive son of the late Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and the International Criminal Court.
Seif al-Islam Gadhafi is wanted by the ICC for alleged crimes against humanity. He is accused of killing civilian protesters during the uprising against his father's regime.
ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo says intermediaries have been in touch with Seif al-Islam Gadhafi to make sure he will receive a fair trial. On Saturday, Reuters news quoted the prosecutor as saying Seif al-Islam had told intermediaries that he is innocent of the charges.
Seif al-Islam is believed to be traveling through the Sahara to a neighboring African country.
Meanwhile, NATO is preparing to wrap up its seven-month-old Libya mission on Monday.
NATO ministers approved a resolution, Friday, that will terminate the alliance's air campaign. NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the alliance's "military job is now done" and NATO will conclude the mission in a "considered and controlled manner."
NATO made its decision a day after the U.N. Security Council voted to cancel its mandate that established the mission.
