NTC military chief Bel Haj has confirmed that Colonel Gaddafi has
been killed. The fugitive leader died of wounds sustained during his
capture near Sirte. Earlier the NTC reported Gaddafi was captured and
wounded in both legs.
The NTC spokesman told Western media that Gaddafi’a corpse will soon be delivered to Misrata.
NTC leader Mustafa Abdel Jalil will address the Libyan nation shortly.
According
to Reuters, Gaddafi was wounded and captured near Sirte while trying to
flee in a convoy which was attacked by NATO. A NATO official says the
alliance is checking reports of Gaddafi's capture.
The Netherlands' prime minister, however, confirms Gaddafi’s detention.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has said that the war in Libya is “over.”
White House officials say they monitor the reports but cannot confirm Gaddafi’s status.
A Libyan government fighter says Gaddafi was hiding in a hole in Sirte, shouting "don't shoot, don't shoot."
An
NTC official says the head of Gaddafi's armed forces, Abu Bakr Younus
Jabr, was killed during the capture of the Libyan ex-leader.
The news comes shortly after the NTC forces took control over Gaddafi's home town of Sirte.
