Anger is rising among supporters of the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi over delays in the investigation into the killing of his son, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, as questions mount about the lack of progress in identifying and arresting suspects.
The Office of the Attorney General announced last month that three suspects had been identified and arrest warrants issued. However, authorities have not disclosed their identities or the parties behind the attack, deepening uncertainty around the case.
A source from a national fact-finding committee said the delay in revealing details has raised concerns about the seriousness of the investigation. The source questioned whether there is intentional hesitation in pursuing those responsible and called for greater transparency.
Officials from the Ministry of Interior and other institutions have also come under scrutiny, as observers question the level of coordination between security bodies and judicial authorities. The Presidential Council had previously assigned an international legal team to assist in gathering evidence.
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi was killed in early February inside his residence in Zintan by unknown attackers. Since then, investigations have been ongoing, but no arrests have been announced.
The case has drawn strong reactions from supporters of the former regime, who view the killing as more than a criminal act. Some groups have described it as a politically sensitive event with wider implications for Libya’s stability.
For many citizens, the lack of clarity has increased frustration and weakened confidence in state institutions. The issue has also highlighted broader concerns about accountability and the rule of law in Libya.
The country continues to face challenges linked to political division and the presence of armed groups, which complicate efforts to enforce judicial decisions and conduct investigations.
Analysts warn that continued delays could further erode public trust and fuel tensions. They stress the need for swift and transparent action to ensure justice and prevent the case from becoming a source of deeper instability.
