The Zintan fighters that seized Saif al-Islam Gaddafi in Libya's southern desert say their prisoner is being treated well.

Al-Ajami Ali Al-Ateiri is the group's leader.

[Al-Ajami Ali Al-Ateiri, Head of Zintan Fighters]:              

"He was captured around 1:30 a.m. and he was brought to the brigade headquarters. We have treated him well.  He was not hit or hurt at all."

While the fighters say they will hand over the 39-year-old Gaddafi heir when leaders in the capital form a government that can try him, few expect Saif al-Islam in Tripoli anytime soon.
