MUAMMAR Gaddafi's last prime minister has become the highest ranking former regime official to go before Libyan judges, in a brief but sullen court appearance.

Dressed in a traditional white robe and brown vest, Al-Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi sat in stony silence within a caged section of the Tripoli criminal court, where figures of the toppled Gaddafi regime are facing justice.
