BBC News - Libyan forces 'capture Gaddafi'

Commanders for Libya's transitional authorities say they have captured former Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi.

The news came after transitional forces claimed control of Sirte, Col Gaddafi's birthplace. There was no independent confirmation of his capture.

Col Gaddafi came to power in Libya in 1969. He was toppled in an uprising that began in February.

The International Criminal Court is seeking his arrest.

"He's captured. He's wounded in both legs," National Transitional Council (NTC) official Abdel Majid told Reuters news agency.

"He's been taken away by ambulance."

AFP news agency quoted another NTC official, Mohamed Leith, as saying that Col Gaddafi had been captured in Sirte and was "seriously wounded" but still breathing.

BBC News - Libyan forces

Unreseveredly good news.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

Sorry but what the hell has Gadaffi got to do with 'the poor quality of songs sung at Falmer' or the merits of 'The Ultras'?

Been kicked to death.

Its over.

Surprising insofar as reports (and popular opinion) had him being as far from the action and as near to his bank accounts as he could get rather than in the thick of the action. Would have been better news in many ways if he were dead as he could now become a rallying point for the fanatics. That said it will be good to see him on trial and having to face his accusers for crimes including wholesale torture and mass murder/genocide. The US and UK governments will be bricking it though in case of embarrassing revelations.

Channel 4 news seems to think he is dead.

I would better if he had a heart attack and died. Better than being quartered, drawn out and then hung.

 

[Gus is god]

Is he alive

I don't think the new Libyan government will want anything to embarass their friends and allies - if he is alive even.
