(Reuters) - Former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi died of wounds suffered in his capture near his hometown of Sirte on Thursday, a senior NTC military official said. National Transitional Council official Abdel Majid Mlegta told Reuters earlier that Gaddafi was captured and wounded in both legs at dawn on Thursday as he tried to flee in a convoy which NATO warplanes attacked. "He was also hit in his head," the official said. "There was a lot of firing against his group and he died." There was no independent confirmation of his remarks.

So g.o.d. R U in charge of the Foreign Affairs dept here at LF? Isn't this the 5th time that Qaddafi's been killed? What happens when this isn't true? Why do you believe your sources? just askin' cause I don't believe shite from hillary until I see the body, and pretty much the rest of the World believes the same.
Russian media is reporting his death so I do believe he is indeed dead. MOSCOW, October 20 (RIA Novosti) Libyans celebrated the death of Muammar Gaddafi with peals of gunfire on Thursday as news broke of the dictator's death during an attack on his hometown of Sirte. Gaddafi died of his injuries near Sirte, the National Transitional Council said. The ousted dictator was reportedly captured, wounded in both legs and taken away in an ambulance. “We announce to the world that Gaddafi has died at the hands of the revolution,” Abdel Hafez Ghoga, a spokesman for the National Transitional Council, was quoted by Al Arabiya as saying. “It is a historic moment. It is the end of tyranny and dictatorship. Gaddafi has met his fate.” Al Arabiya reported that the body of the deposed Libyan leader had arrived in Misrata and said it would be allowed to film the corpse. The Aljazeera satellite TV channel quoted a doctor who examined his body in Misrata as saying Gaddafi had died of bullet wounds to the head and abdomen. News agencies showed photos of a dead Gaddafi made with a cell phone. Aljazeera TV showed the first photos of a dead Gaddafi made with a cell phone. In one photo, Gaddafi, his face covered in blood, is being dragged to a vehicle. According to some reports, Gaddafi was also hit in his head during an NTC raid on Sirte. Earlier reports said Gaddafi was captured and "critically injured." However, Al Libya, a TV channel loyal to Gaddafi, has denied the reports. Gaddafi's son Motassim was also reported killed in Sirte. NATO and the U.S. State Department said they could not confirm any of the reports. http://en.rian.ru/world/20111020/167898653.html

as is Liberator. I'm waiting for Limbaugh to call Gaddafi a Christian freedom fighter.
no idea but mcgowanjm is crying like a little girl today. First, you 1%ers continue to view empathy as a weakness. please continue....;}
First, the NATO rebels/rats have zero control structure. This can be seen from the video. The Most important job is to stand Qaddafi up. Give him room. Seat him at a table. Good Clean Video shots. Instead, Second, we get flashes of Qaddafi. Nothing isolated. Blurs. Perfect for photoshop.... 8D And Still no word of/from any of Qaddafi's sons.
