Former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi captured and wounded
Former Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi was arrested in his hometown Sirte, as Al Alibya reported earlier today. Muammar was captured by NATO while he tried to flee and the incident has been confirmed by officials in the National Transitional Council.
Al Jazeera, as well as Reuters quoted unidentified sources (officials of NTC) saying that Gaddafi is wounded and that he had been taken to a hospital, possibly in the city if Misrata. "He's captured. He's wounded in both legs … He's been taken away by ambulance," the senior NTC military official told Reuters by telephone.
Despite his fall on August 21, after 42 years of ruling by himself the oil-producing North African state, his loyalists were still putting up a fight at the moment of the attack.
Later the day, some disturbing images have surfaced with the former Libyan leader dragged around by some angry rebels, rebels who had been named by Gaddafi as "rats" in August when they rose against him.
The circumstances of his death were unclear yeasterday, but after the footage were revealed, we could saw that he had been captured alive. "They captured him alive and while he was being taken away, they beat him and then they killed him," one senior source in the NTC told Reuters. "He might have been resisting."
We also watched a crowd of Libyans thrilled to be free of the opression of a tyrant, as they were tearing the green flag with knives, they were shreding pictures of Gaddafi and mostly, firing with guns into the air.
