Mutassim Billah Gaddafi (Arabic: المُعْتَصِمٌ بِٱللهِ ٱلْقَذَّافِيّ, also transliterated as Al-Moa'tassem Bellah Al-Qaddafi or Al-Mu'tasim Bi'llah al-Qadhafi; 18 December 1974[1] – 20 October 2011) was a Libyan military officer, and the National Security Advisor of Libya from 2008 until 2011.[2] He was the fourth son of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, and a member of his father's inner circle.[3][4][5][6] His mother was Safia Farkash, who was said to be a Hungarian from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Mutassim was captured by anti-Gaddafi rebel forces during the Battle of Sirte, in the First Libyan Civil War, and killed along with his father.[7]
