MEXICO CITY — The Mexican government said Wednesday that it had broken up a plot to smuggle into Mexico one of the sons of the former Libyan leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, and hide him and his family at a Pacific beach resort.
Alejandro Poiré, the interior minister, said the elaborate plan had been uncovered by Mexican intelligence agents and had resulted in the arrest of several people, including two Mexicans, a Canadian and a Dane.
Mr. Poiré said Saadi el-Qaddafi, who fled to Niger in September as his father’s government crumbled, as well as his family were to receive false documents identifying them as Mexican.
The announcement provided yet another odd twist in the life of the younger Qaddafi, 38, who has trekked across the globe veering from an ill-fated career in professional Italian soccer, to Hollywood producer, to would-be peace negotiator as his homeland spun out of control.
