 Ignoring world pressure, Libya's interim rulers insisted that Seif al-Islam, Gaddafi's one-time heir apparent, would be tried inside Libya rather than at the International Criminal Court at The Hague, international media outlets say.

World powers, fearful that Seif would not be given a fair trial after his father was felled by a bullet to the head after being captured exactly a month ago, are urging Libya to work with the ICC.

The court wants to try the 39-year-old for crimes against humanity allegedly committed by Gaddafi's forces in crushing anti-regime protests in February. But the NTC insists that Seif will face trial at home.

"The decision is that he will be tried by Libyan courts. It is a question of national sovereignty," NTC vice chairman and official spokesman Abdel Hafiz Ghoga told reporters.
