When was col gaddafi killed

This latest video discovery comes as international and human rights groups call for a formal investigation into how the former Libyan leader was killed. In video clips that have emerged of his capture, Gaddafi can be seen injured but alive.

Later he is seen with what appears to be gunshot wounds to his head and chest. He was saying 'What's wrong? What's wrong? What's going on? Gabriel Gatehouse first saw the man brandishing Gaddafi's golden gun in October Still images from an analysis of amateur video footage taken in the moments after Col Gaddafi's capture appear to show him being sodomised with a pole or knife.

What happened next and how Libya's former leader died remains unclear. What is certain is that at local time, Mahmoud Jibril, the NTC prime minister, confirmed the news that Col Gaddafi was dead, saying: "We have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Muammar Gaddafi has been killed. According to Mr Jibril, the colonel died just minutes away from hospital. He later told journalists that a "forensic report" had concluded that the colonel had died from bullet wounds when the car he was in was caught in crossfire.

An interview with the commander of the brigade that captured Gaddafi suggests that the former leader died in an ambulance and appears to support the official version that he was killed in crossfire. But a man claiming to be an eyewitness told the BBC that he saw Col Gaddafi being shot with a 9mm gun in the abdomen at around local time and initial video footage seemed to show his body being dragged through the streets of Misrata. Col Muammar Gaddafi was shot in the abdomen, according to a man who says he was there.

Drawing on extensive interviews with both rebels and Gaddafi supporters, Human Rights Watch said in a report published on Wednesday that Gaddafi was in fact killed after his capture—a war crime under international treaties, which outlaw the killing of enemy prisoners.

Human Rights Watch says in its report that Gaddafi had already been wounded when he was captured clear on the video , from a grenade thrown by one of his own bodyguards that exploded in his midst, killing his defense minister Abu Bakr Younis next to him. Bleeding heavily from his injury, Gaddafi was also weak and exhausted, having eaten and drunk little in days, and appeared in poor shape to resist rebel blows.

None of the video footage has been independently verified. Muammar Gaddafi has been killed," he said. Later, he told journalists that a "forensic report" had concluded that the colonel had died from bullet wounds after he had been captured and driven away.

Earlier, some NTC fighters gave a different account of the colonel's death, saying he had been shot when he tried to escape. The fighter showed reporters a golden pistol he said he had taken from Col Gaddafi. Arabic TV channels showed images of troops surrounding two large drainage pipes where the reporters said Col Gaddafi was found.

Libyans gathered in towns and cities across the country to celebrate the reports of the colonel's death.
