Just in from Almanara Media - this reporter's suspicions may have been confirmed!

Earlier today I had wondered if reports a few days ago had been true that stated Gadaffi's son Khamis Al Gadaffi was burned in a fire caused by a kamikaze hero defecting from Gadaffi's army.

This is what I was referring to - the article I posted afew days ago and that has yet to be confirmed in mainstream news:

Stunning Tweets from Resistance Claim Kamikaze Defected Pilot Hero crashes into Gadaffi stronghold http://bit.ly/glzn2O

Link to the following website gives the information as follows:

libyafeb17.com/2011/03/march-…

"02:13 Almanara Media is confirming from trusted sources that Khamis Al Gaddafi has passed away on Sunday due to severe burn injuries he sustained a few days ago. The burns were caused when a fighter jet pilot performed a martyr mission and crashed his fighter jet into Gaddafi’s compound Baab Al Aziziyah. IMPORTANT: We are only citing Almanara Media for this news. We have not confirmed it via any other source."

Here are the tweets trending right now;

SupportingArabs LC by MmeButterfly1 Did you live underthe iron fist of Qadhafifor the last 42 years? If you did, you might understand why someone wouldnot mourn Khamis Qadhafi…

There have as yet been no reports from mainstream news on this breaking story from Libya. Again, this is as yet unconfirmed by anyone except Almanara Media, breaking this news out of Tripoli.

JUST IN: 21 MAR 2011 11:21 am. EST

(AGI)Tripoli- "Libyan government sources denied opposition reports of the death of Khamis Gaddafi as 'a nonsensical piece of news'. Khamis is the sixth son of the Colonel and is commander of the 32nd Brigade. Eyewitnesses also denied news reported by Al Arabiya of bombardments of the capital in the early hours of this morning. A journalist present in the city reported that there was no anti-aircraft fire, that traffic in Tripoli is still moving and that life is carrying on as normal."

Yes folks you have it straight from Libyan TV - Khamis Gadaffi is fine, the missiles didn't hit inside the compound, there was no anti-aircraft fire, and all is business as usual in Tripoli today.

Breaking Update: Confirmation appears to be coming in from Arab Business News and other news websites around the world:

here is what you can see on the website for Arab Business News:

‘Gaddafi’s son died of burn wounds’
