Scrutiny Over Moammar Gadhafi Burial; Nairobi Blasts
STOUT: Now, five days after his death in the city of Sirte, former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi has been buried. A spokesman for the National Transitional Council tells CNN that Gadhafi was interred at a secret location, alongside his former defense minister and his son Mutassim. And according to Reuters, another son, Saif al-Islam Gadhafi, is still being hunted near the southern border as the NTC tries to stop him from fleeing. And the burial, it marks closure in some respects, but many questions remain. The United Nations wants an independent investigation into Gadhafi's death, as Human Rights Watch describes is still unexplained. Now, also under scrutiny is the nature of the burial itself. And Dan Rivers joins me live from Tripoli with more. And Dan, Islamic rights have already been ignored. Do we know how and where the burial took place?</s>DAN RIVERS, CNN SR. INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: We don't know. I think that's deliberate. They don't want his grave becoming any kind of a shrine for remaining Gadhafi supporters. We assume it's out in the desert somewhere, far from any civilization. We are told that by a Tripoli Military Council spokesman that the burial took place with his son Mutassim and the defense minister, Abu Bakr Yunis, that members of the Gadhafi tribe were allowed to pray over the bodies before they were removed from that cold storage facility on the outskirts of Misrata and then taken away. We have some details of his will, Gadhafi's will, that said he wanted to be buried in his clothes, as is the custom, if you die as a martyr in Islamic tradition. He said he wanted to be buried next to his family in a cemetery in Sirte. We understand that is not what happened. And his will went on to talk about asking for his family to be treated well and for his supporters to continue to resist and fight on, et cetera. But in terms of the exact location, we don't know. And in terms of who was present, we don't know. We don't think there was any members of his family or tribe present when he was actually buried, but that is speculation at this point.</s>STOUT: Now, members of his family, many of them are outside the country. Has there been any reaction from the Gadhafi family to the burial? And what is the latest word on Saif al-Islam and his whereabouts?</s>RIVERS: No reaction so far from his family. Saif al-Islam, there are conflicting rumors, and I think they're nothing more than that. One NTC spokesman suggesting that he was trying to flee south, across the border, possibly in Tunisia, using a fake Libyan passport. But frankly, we have had no other corroboration of that suggestion from an NTC source. I think we've got to be pretty skeptical about any claims concerning his whereabouts, because so many over the past few days that he had been injured, that he had been surrounded in Gharyan, that he had been captured, none of which seems to have panned out to be true. So, at the moment, his whereabouts is still a mystery.</s>STOUT: Dan Rivers, joining us live from Tripoli. Thank you very much for that. Now, in Kenya, just hours after a grenade attack on a Nairobi nightclub, an explosion at a downtown bus station has caused at least one death and multiple injuries. The latest attack, it came on Monday evening, as many people were coming home from work. The station is just two to three blocks from the nightclub where Monday's first blast occurred. No one has claimed responsibility for either attack, and police say they are investigating. And many suspect a link to Somali militants who have threatened retaliation for Kenya's military intervention in Somalia. David McKenzie has been following developments. He joins me now live from Nairobi. And David, is al-Shabaab to blame for the violence?</s>DAVID MCKENZIE, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, we don't know at this point, Kristie. Certainly, al-Shabaab has threatened Kenya and Kenyan citizens in the last few days, since the 10 days from when the Kenyan military, both air force and army and paramilitary forces, moved into southern Somalia in an unexpected move, really, it must be said. They moved across the border in retaliation against a series of incursions on -- blamed on al-Shabaab in terms of kidnappings here on the coast of Kenya, and also in the northern refugee camp of Dadaab. That happened in the last two months.</s>STOUT: OK. David McKenzie, thank you very much indeed. I'm going to have to break away. Let's take you live to earthquake-ravaged eastern Turkey. Incredible rescues playing out live on our screen. Someone pulled from the rubble, lying on a stretcher. These are live pictures again from southeastern Turkey. You see the crowds of the rescuers, media around the scene. Earlier, we were talking to our Diana Magnay, who said this area was where a 14-day-old baby girl was pulled alive from the debris. And inside, under the rubble, remain her mother, her father, the mother-in-law, all there waiting for their rescue. We still do not know at this moment who has been pulled from the rubble just yet. Very likely, it is a relative of that 2-week-old infant who was just rescued. Do we have Diana Magnay on the line? OK. I believe that we do have Diana.</s>MAGNAY: We do. We do. Diana, if you can hear me, who has been pulled from the rubble?</s>MAGNAY: Well, I just caught a glimpse of her amongst that scrum that you saw, and it was a young girl. And her eyes were fluttering. She seemed to be alive, and it was a young woman. So I would assume that it was the mother of that 14-day-old baby who was just brought out -- Kristie.</s>STOUT: And you were describing earlier the grandmother, the grandmother of the baby girl, presumably, perhaps, the mother of the woman who was just pulled out, is there watching this rescue unfold. Were you able to gauge her reaction?</s>MAGNAY: No. I mean, it was a very hectic scene. Obviously, that moment when the woman was taken out just now, you could see the scrum of rescue workers trying to get her out and the media trying to take the picture. The relatives are slightly further away, so I wasn't able to gauge their reaction at that moment, but I did catch a glimpse of the woman's face, and it was a young woman. She looked as though she was alive. Her eyes were fluttering. And I think you can see me here. And she has now been taken off on an ambulance to the hospital. And her baby daughter that was rescued a good two hours ago now was taken in good health to the hospital also for checks. We will of course be trying to get to that hospital to check on the medical health of both of them. And, of course, the rescue operation will be ongoing. I've just asked Joe to swing to the rescue worker who brought out the young child. He just slipped on the rubble. We talked to him a bit earlier. He was the man who pulled the 14-day-old baby from the rubble. He said that that moment -- he has a little son himself -- he said the moment of rescuing that child was like having another child himself. Basically, what happened, he crawled through this very narrow tunnel, and the mother handed him over her little baby girl. And apparently they were then able to communicate the news that the baby girl had been taken to hospital, that she was doing fine. And the mother was incredibly relieved. And that rescue worker, I have his name for you. He's Kadir Dirik (ph). He said that it was one of the best moments of his life, to see the mother so pleased at what had happened -- Kristie.</s>STOUT: You know, this is an incredible story of both rescue and survival. This young mother and her infant daughter had to deal with and survive the impact of the initial earthquake, the cold, freezing temperatures at night, that passage of time -- it's been well over 48 hours. Diana, can you just give us a sense -- take us to where you are and put us in the shoes of those who have managed to survive the earthquake, trapped in the rubble. What have they experienced in the last couple of days?</s>MAGNAY: Well, they would have experienced freezing cold nights. The temperature has been dropping to about zero here, very, very cold, indeed. And it is extraordinary that you hear these survival tales in situations like this. I was talking to a rescue worker who had been brought in from Istanbul to oversee a few of the operations here. He said that you hear stories of people surviving 17 to 20 days after earthquake situations like this. So it is possible, of course, that the damage from these sorts of buildings -- and Joe, maybe you can just pan around to see the apartment building that they were rescued from -- that that does protect you to some extent from the freezing cold temperatures. It's more that the survivors who have been having to live in tent cities or out in the cold who have really complained of the cold. But it is extraordinary that people are being brought out. Now, I'll just remind you of the story of that baby girl. Apparently, we heard from the grandmother, she was three weeks premature. So, should, theoretically, still have been in her mother's tummy at this point, rather than alive, rescued from a situation like this and taken to hospital, Kristie. So really an amazing story, a wonderful success story for Kadir Dirik (ph), the man who rescued the child, and who we think was also the man who was sent in because of his slight frame to try to get to the mother and the mother-in-law. And here he comes now. A joyful moment for him -- Kristie.</s>STOUT: A very joyful moment indeed. As you mentioned just now, we are still awaiting the rescue of two more individuals. Unfortunately, it looks like we're losing that connection there, but the bulk of the story we heard and clear. It's such an amazing story of rescue and survival there as we watched live on our screens the young mother of that two-week-old baby girl who was just moments ago also pulled from the rubble. Mother and child, rescued alive more than 48 hours since that 7.2 magnitude earthquake. And you saw the rubble and debris that they have been stuck in since then. They have managed to battle the cold, freezing weather, the uncertainty of rescue, and of course the impact of that major earthquake. You're looking at pictures there of the rescue scene. And we are still awaiting the rescue of two more individuals, family members of that little girl, the 14-day-old infant. Her father, another grandmother, they are still trapped there in the rubble, and the rescue workers are there, and they are working to pull them out as well. And hopefully there will be a family reunion. We are streaming live pictures for you on the Web site. Go to CNN.com. We'll also continue to keep our eyes fixed on this situation for you.
