Interpol issued a worldwide alert against Colonel Muammar Gaddafi and 15 of his close associates as the international community continued to ratchet up the pressure on the Libyan dictator.
The international police agency's "orange notice" describes the regime figures as individuals who have been identified "as being involved in or complicit in planning attacks, including aerial bombardments, on civilian populations".
They include seven of his sons, among them Saif, and his daughter Aisha, as well the defense minister, the head of external security, the director of military intelligence and Gaddafi's head bodyguard.
The alert is intended to help ensure police authorities in Interpol's 188 member states enforce the international travel bans and asset freezes imposed by the United Nations Security Council, The Associated Press reported.
