Reuters:  Son's newspaper wins a reprieve / Friday, 12 November 2010
The country's most outspoken newspaper reappeared yesterday with a new editor and a pledge of loyalty to leader Muammar Gaddafi, in a concession to conservatives in the ruling elite.
The Oea newspaper, part of a media group founded by Mr Gaddafi's reformist son Saif al-Islam, was suspended a week ago and several of its journalists were briefly detained.
Saif al-Islam is seen as a potential successor to his father but he has been fighting a turf war with influential figures who have resisted his attempts at reform.
