The Libyan fighters holding Moammar Gaddafis son have released a video of him saying an injury to his hand was the result of a NATO airstrike a month ago.Photos of Seif al-Islam Gaddafi with three fingers of his right hand in bandages had raised questions about whether he was mistreated by the fighters who captured him on Saturday.In the video posted Sunday on YouTube, he says the raid struck his convoy in Wadi Zamzam, about 90 miles (140 kilometres) southeast of Tripoli.Seif al-Islam is being held in the western mountain town of Zintan by fighters refusing to hand him over to national authorities in the capital and insisting they will put him on trial themselves.Revolutionary brigades from Zintan captured him Saturday in the southern Libyan desert.
