It has been reported that Colonel Gaddafi's son, Saif al Arab Gaddafi, has been killed in a Nato-led airstrike.
It is believed that the 29-year-old was killed at his home in the capital, Tripoli, but his wife and the leader - who was at the house at the time - are in good health.
He was the sixth son of the Libyan leader and has been viewed as the most low profile of his sons. Three of the dictator's grand children were also killed in the blast.
Government spokesman, Moussa Ibrahim, confirmed the deaths at a press conference this evening after an air strike hit a residential area.
'What we have now is the law of the jungle,' he said. 'We think now it is clear to everyone that what is happening in Libya has nothing to do with the protection of civilians.'
Libyan officials took journalists to the house, which had been hit by at least three missiles.
The roof had completely caved in in some areas, leaving strings of reinforcing steel hanging down among chunks of concrete.
A table football machine stood outside in the garden of the house, which was in a wealthy residential area of Tripoli.
The blasts had been heard across the city late on Saturday. Rifle fire and car horns rang out in the rebels' eastern capital of Benghazi as news of the attack spread. Ibrahim said Saif al-Arab, 29, was a student who had studied in Germany.
'We will fight and fight if we have to,' Ibrahim said. 'The leader offered peace to NATO yesterday and NATO rejected it.'
Glass and debris covered the lawns and what appeared to be an unexploded missile lay in one corner.

Journalists were shown around the house after it was heavily damaged in the bombing

Inside one part of the villa, a beige corner sofa was virtually untouched, but debris had caved in on other striped upholstered chairs. The blasts had been heard across the city late on Saturday.
Rifle fire and car horns rang out in the rebels' eastern capital of Benghazi as news of the attack spread.
'The leader himself is in good health. He wasn't harmed,' Ibrahim said. 'His wife is also in good health.
'This was a direct operation to assassinate the leader of this country. This is not permitted by international law. It is not permitted by any moral code or principle.'

In recent years he has spent much of his time in Germany and when the uprising began in February he was subjected to the same travel ban as his family but his assets were not frozen, unlike many other members of the family.
It was reported that he had defected to the rebel side along with troops under his command early in the conflict, but that has not been confirmed.
Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi yesterday refused to give up power but said that he was ready for a ceasefire and negotiations provided NATO 'stop its planes'.
Gaddafi looked to have been winning with government forces held at bay in the east and around the besieged city of Misrata, while fighting for control of the western mountains.
But weeks of Western air strikes have failed to dislodge the Libyan leader and the war has instead become locked in a painful stalemate.
With neither side apparently able to gain the upper hand, Gaddafi struck a conciliatory tone in an 80-minute televised address to the nation in the early hours of Saturday.
'(Libya) is ready until now to enter a ceasefire,' said Gaddafi, speaking from behind a desk and aided by reams of paper covered in what appeared to be hand-written notes.
'We were the first to welcome a ceasefire and we were the first to accept a ceasefire ... but the Crusader NATO attack has not stopped,' he said. 'The gate to peace is open.'

Gaddafi denied mass attacks on civilians and challenged Nato to find him 1,000 people who had been killed in the conflict.
'We did not attack them or cross the sea ... why are they attacking us?' asked Gaddafi, referring to European countries involved in the air strikes. 'Let us negotiate with you, the countries that attack us. Let us negotiate.'

But as he spoke, NATO warplanes hit three targets close to the television building in Tripoli in what state media said was an attempt to kill Gaddafi who has ruled Libya for 41 years.
The air strikes left a large crater outside the attorney general's office but did not damage the building and hit two other government offices housed in colonial-era buildings. It was not immediately clear if there were any casualties.
Previous ceasefire offers have been rebuffed by NATO as Libyan government forces have continued to fight on.
