Drone Wars, Gaddafi's Fate, Epstein's Shadow, and Music Mourns

Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, son of the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, was killed in Zintan, a city in western Libya, multiple sources confirmed on February 3, 2026. Gaddafi, 53, had been living in Zintan since his release from prison in 2017. He was considered his father's heir-apparent and faced allegations of violence during Libya's civil war following the Arab Spring, according to Al Jazeera.

In other news, the Justice Department's release of Epstein files inadvertently revealed the identities of sexual assault victims, including one involved in the ongoing sex-trafficking trial of Oren and Tal Alexander, the NY Times reported. Defense lawyers unsuccessfully argued for a mistrial. While the Alexander brothers, who face sex trafficking charges unrelated to Epstein, were mentioned in the released documents, there is no evidence linking them to Epstein's crimes. Separately, Longevity expert Dr. Peter Attia resigned as Chief Science Officer from David Protein following the release of documents linking him to Jeffrey Epstein, TechCrunch reported. David Protein, known for its high-protein, zero-sugar nutrition bars, faces potential reputational challenges as it navigates the departure of a key figure amid growing public scrutiny.

Also this week, Tracy Zamot, a veteran publicist who worked for Atlantic, Virgin and Motown Records, and Pandora Radio, died after a long illness, her family confirmed to Variety. No specific cause of death was announced. She was 55. Zamot was a graduate of the State University of New York at Albany and joined Atlantic Records.

Meanwhile, tensions are rising as President Donald Trump's foreign policy decisions are being scrutinized. According to Vox, Gen Z's desire for fewer wars is clashing with Trump's actions, including his recent foreign policy crusade and suggestions of acquiring Greenland. "There was an underrated storyline of the 2024 election, one thats increasingly starting to resurface now," said Rachel Janfaza of The Up and Up, a research firm focused on Gen Z.
