Two high-profile officials of late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's regime deliberately infected more than 400 children with HIV, the notes of former Libyan PM Shukri Ghanem read, AFP says.

A Libyan court on July 28 sentenced slain dictator Moamar Kadhafi's son Seif al-Islam and eight other defendants to death for crimes during the 2011 uprising.

Saif al-Islam, a son of Libya's slain leader Col Muammar Gaddafi, has been sentenced to death over war crimes a Libyan court believes he committed during the 2011 uprising.

Eight other senior members of Gaddafi's regime have also been sentenced including former intelligence chief Abdullah Senussi.

Saif al-Islam's death sentence will be performed by a firing squad.
