Qadhafi son wanted for attack

Paris: French prosecutors are taking action against the youngest son of the Libyan leader, Muammar Qadhafi, who is alleged to have beaten a pregnant woman during a rampage in a Paris hotel. Motassim Bilal Qadhafi, known as Hannibal, will be summonsed for questioning about the alleged attack, during which he is also said to have scuffled with police and brandished a gun. France has finally run out of patience with the 28-year-old rabble-rouser, who is said by the Foreign Ministry to have been involved in ``repeated incidents.'' Mr. Qadhafi allegedly beat the woman, eight months pregnant and described as his ``companion,'' when she refused to let him into a room at the Grand Hotel, near the Paris Opera, late one night three weeks ago. —
