Reports suggest Gaddafi is dead

[Slowpoke]

Breaking news so not much information

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.

I was just watching this on Sky News, fantastic news! What do you think will happen next? Will he be put on trial and jailed or death sentence?

I've just heard that he has been killed? Not sure if it's a rumour or not.

I'm watching sky news now, and they are saying that there are reports that he has been killed and that his body has arrived?

I think it'll take a few hours to find out what's actually happened.

Apparently he has died from his wounds from his capture, sounds like he was just killed then.

This just appeared on BBC News, it doesn't say that he's dead though - so Idk if that's a rumour or not.

If he isn't dead, then he probably will be killed...if he's on trial in Libya he's bound to be given the death sentence.

Thank God he's been captured though ^_^

First Bin Laden, now Gadaffi ... Seems to be going pretty well.

I'll update the first post as more news comes in. All that has been confirmed thus far is that he has been captured

I'm surprised he remained in the area even though it was obvious that the rebel forces would eventually seize control

Numerous sources have confirmed that he's dead, just not western news, but his corpse has reportedly arrived in some city. I'd say he's pretty much dead.

Interesting news, but it doesn't change the fact the Western World put Gaddafi in his position in the first place. If he is still alive and captured, and given the death sentence I hope Bush and Blair get the same, they're guilty as sin as much as Gaddafi, if not more guilty

A picture of him has just been shown on skynews, it looks like he has most likely died from his wounds.

[Casanova]

I hope he is not dead, if they want democracy then intentionally killing their old leader certainly isn't a good sign of things to come!
Of course it could have just been a fierce battle.
