Abdel Rahman Abdel Hamid (), who is the nephew of the former Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi, served as a commander for pro-Gaddafi forces stationed in Sirte during the Libyan Civil War. He was apprehended by National Transitional Council troops as they took control of strategic points within the city.

Role in the Libyan civil war

In the course of the 2011 Libyan civil war, Abdel Hamid commanded a brigade loyal to Gaddafi in Sirte. Early accounts inaccurately reported that he had been executed by his own faction. Nevertheless, two weeks afterward, Al Jazeera verified his detention amid the Battle of Sirte. After Gaddafi's demise, Abdel Hamid was present at his funeral.
