Reuters dominates Gaddafi story

Last week, Reuters Middle East Editor Samia Nakhoul owned coverage of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s capture and death. This week, she’s leading the way with spot-on reporting of the aftermath. Samia was first with the news of his secretive desert burial, complete with details of his final rites and prayers. Then, Samia was the first to report that Gaddafi’s elusive son Seif wanted to hand himself over to the International Criminal Court — which was confirmed today by the ICC. These are huge scoops for Reuters that exemplify our strength in the Middle East.

Take a look at some key headlines:

• Gaddafi taken deep into desert for secret burial

• Gaddafi son seeks aircraft to surrender

• Hague court says in talks on Gaddafi son surrender
