Now this is interesting. I suspect there is even more to this story.

“One of Colonel Gaddafi’s sons was on a U.S. State Department approved tour of America as the uprising in Libya began, it was revealed today.

Khamis Gaddafi, 27, had been on a four-week U.S. tour organised by an American company with U.S. State Department approval.

The tour was part of an internship with AECOM, a global infrastructure company with deep business interests in Libya, according to Paul Gennaro, AECOM’s Senior Vice President for Global Communications.

Khamis was believed to have been killed by a disaffected Libyan kamikaze pilot, but Libyan state television tonight broadcast what it claimed was live footage of Gaddafi’s son greeting supporters at his father’s compound in Tripoli.

The revelations of Khamis’ tour come moments after Barack Obama defended his decision to lead coalition forces in Libya and are sure to be highly embarrassing for the Administration.”
