PARIS: A French court convicted the youngest son of Libyan leader Muammar Qadhafi for striking his pregnant companion in a Paris hotel, handing him a fourth-month suspended prison sentence and a euro500 ($$628) fine, a judicial official said on Thursday. Hannibal Qadhafi was not in court for Monday's trial in Paris, said the official who spoke on customary condition of anonymity. He was prosecuted on charges of ``voluntary violence on a vulnerable person'' and unauthorised possession of a pistol. On February 1, Mr. Qadhafi wielded — but did not shoot — an automatic pistol while at the Grand Hotel Intercontinental near the Opera Garnier. Security agents directed him to his hotel room, which he then damaged, officials said. Without specifically referring to the incident, the Foreign Ministry said in February that France had expressed its ``displeasure'' to authorities in Libya about ``repeated incidents'' involving Hannibal Qadhafi. He also was at the centre of a separate commotion last September, when police stopped him for speeding and his bodyguards attacked several officers. — AP
