Gaddafi Shot In Head

An autopsy confirmed that Libyan dictator Moammar Gaddafi died from a gunshot to the head, the country's chief pathologist said today, just hours before Libya's new leaders were to declare liberation and a formal end to an eight-month civil war to topple the longtime ruler's regime.

The head of the Libyan rebel armed forces was shot and killed Thursday just before arriving for questioning by rebel authorities, their political leader said in a carefully worded statement to reporters that gave few details on who was behind the killing.
