Saif al-Islam, Moammar Gadhafi's son, has been captured, according to the head of the Rebel National Transitional Council in an interview with Al Jazeera.

Meanwhile, a Libyan government spokesman warned of humanitarian disaster and a "massacre" in Tripoli as rebel forces advanced into the capital Sunday, but said forces loyal to longtime strongman Moammar Gadhafi were holding off the attacks.

Musa Ibrahim said Gadhafi's forces were being reinforced by volunteers coming into Tripoli and "can hold for much longer." But he acknowledged that rebel forces were pushing into the seaside capital, and told CNN that "a massacre will be committed in Tripoli if one side wins."

He denied reports that Gadhafi's bodyguards had surrendered, but repeated calls for a halt to NATO airstrikes and urged peace talks. Ref. CNN

Moammar Gadhafi's son Saif al-Islam Gadhafi made an appearance at a Tripoli hotel early Tuesday, more than a day after rebel forces had reported his capture.

The younger Gadhafi appeared at one of the remaining holdouts for Gadhafi supporters, saying his father remained in Tripoli and that rebels had been lured into a trap. There was no immediate explanation from the National Transitional Council, the rebel leadership that said three Gadhafi sons were in custody on Sunday.

Earlier, Libya's ambassador to the United States told CNN that another Gadhafi son, Mohammad Gadhafi, had escaped from rebel custody.

Meanwhile, rebels had most of the capital under their control. Gunbattles in the area around Gadhafi's former compound continued until late Monday, and renewed fighting could be heard around Zawiya, about 30 miles west of the capital, early Tuesday. Ref. CNN
