Trial of Gaddaf al-Dam adjourned

The Cairo Criminal Court adjourned until November 9 the trial of Ahmed Gaddaf al-Dam, the cousin and former aide of slain Libyan leader Muammar Kadhafi, over charges of attempted murder of Egyptian police officers. The court delayed the case to continue listening to the witnesses. Gaddaf al-Dam also faces charges of possessing unlicensed weapons and resisting the authorities. He was detained in Cairo in March after a gunfight with police in his apartment. Gaddaf al-Dam and his bodyguards allegedly fired a hail of bullets at masked policemen who stormed his apartment. He is wanted by the Libyan authorities to stand trial for financial corruption charges. Source: MENA
