Gaddafi son-in-law's assets frozen

The US Treasury Department included late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s son-in-law Humayd Abdal Salam in the list of names whose assets are frozen in the United States, after being accused of working for Saadi Gaddafi, Muammar Gaddafi’s son, indicating that Abdal Salam assisted Gaddafi’s son financially, logistically, and technically. The United Nations and the US had frozen the assets of Gaddafi and his family members following the breakout of the Libyan revolution last February, which toppled his regime. In late September 2011, Humayd reportedly coordinated a meeting for Saadi Gaddafi, and in early October he also arranged the delivery of vehicles and drivers for Saadi and Mutassim, the department said. The decision “targets a key supporter of Saadi Gaddafi, who remains determined to carry on his father's legacy, to reverse Libya's democratic transition through violence, and to foster instability in the region," the Treasury's sanctions chief, Adam Szubin, said in a statement.
