Libya faces deadline on Gadhafi question

(CNN) - Libyan authorities have until 5 p.m. (10 a.m. ET) Tuesday to tell the International Criminal Court whether it plans to hand over the deposed leader's son Saif al-Islam Gadhafi, ICC official Fadi Al Abdull said.

If they do not reply, they face referral to the United Nations Security Council, he added.

The late Moammar Gadhafi's son, once seen as his heir apparent, was captured in November after the fall of his father's regime in August. He is being held in the Libyan city of Zintan.

He was facing an arrest warrant from the ICC at the time of his capture, and the court is still seeking to prosecute him.

    Dear ICC,
    Here he is. Sorry about the bullet hole in his head. Our van hit a pothole and a gun went off.

    Sincerely,
    Libya
