Thousands attend Gaddafi son’s funeral, highlighting Libya’s divided loyalties

Thousands of mourners gathered in the western Libyan town of Bani Walid on Friday for the funeral of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s son, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, who was killed this week. The turnout in a town that has long been a Gaddafi stronghold underscored the divisions that have split Libya since the 2011 Arab Spring uprising, plunging the country into instability.
