A Libyan court ruled on Thursday that the son of the late leader Moammar Gadhafi could run for president, his lawyer said, as arguments intensified over the conduct of an election aimed at ending a decade of turmoil.
Saif al-Islam Gadhafi's appeal against disqualification for the Dec. 24 vote was delayed for days as fighters blocked off the court, one of several incidents that may foreshadow wider election unrest.
