Muammar Gaddafi killed in his hometown Sirte
Nine months after Libya’s rebellion began, Muammar Qaddafi was captured, wounded, and then died from his injuries as he tried to flee his hometown of Sirte today, an official from the country’s National Transitional Council told Reuters.
Moammar Gadhafi was found and killed in his hometown of Sirte Thursday, after months of unrest and violence in Libya. Libya's National Transitional Council fighters celebrate after the town's defenses fell.
A video taken by a man who was there at the moment Moammar Gadhafi was captured by NTC fighters in Sirte has been uploaded to YouTube. It shows a wounded, bloody and clearly disorientated Gaddafi surrounded by shouting people.
"The particulars of how and when Gaddafi actually died remain hazy. Reuters reports that the leader of Gaddafi's personal bodyguards is saying that the former strongman had survived an airstrike on his convoy. "I was with Gaddafi and Abu Bakr Younis Jabr (head of Gaddafi's army) and about four volunteer soldiers," Mansour Daou told al Arabiya television. He said he had not witnessed the final moments of his leader because he had fallen unconscious from a wound" - The Telegraph
