BEIRUT (AP) — A son of Libya’s leader Moammar Gadhafi is suffering deteriorating health during the second week of a hunger strike to protest his detention in Beirut without trial, his lawyer said Friday. Hannibal Gadhafi is only drinking small amounts of water, his lawyer Paul Romanos said, adding that his client is suffering from weakness and muscle pains. “Had it not been for his solid will, he would not have been able to continue,” Romanos said about Hannibal Gadhafi. The cleric’s family believes he may still be alive in a Libyan prison, though most Lebanese presume al-Sadr is dead. Most of al-Sadr’s followers are convinced that Moammar Gadhafi ordered al-Sadr killed in a dispute over Libyan payments to Lebanese militias.
