Moammar Gaddafi Killed

Libya's state news agency says 22 pro-government militiamen were killed in an assault on late dictator Moammar Gaddafi's last stronghold.

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Luis Moreno-Ocampo says Libya has evidence linking a son of deposed ruler Moammar Gaddafi to recruiting mercenaries and executing people. Mr Ocampo told The Associated Press on Thursday that Libyan prosecutors have evidence backing the court's reports that Seif al-Islam Gaddafi supervis...

Fresh tribal clashes erupted today in Libya's remote southeastern desert, with one man saying five members of his clan had been killed, a toll that could not be independently verified. Clashes between the Zwai and the Toubu tribes in the town of Kufra broke out for a third consecutive day today after 17 people were killed in fierce fighting over th...

A fuel tank exploded in Moammar Gaddafi's hometown Sirte killing more than 100 people less than a week after the deposed despot was captured and killed there, a military commander said on Tuesday.

A human rights groups says it has discovered 53 decomposing bodies, apparently of Moammar Gaddafi loyalists, some of whom may have been executed by revolutionary forces. The New York-based Human Rights Watch said on Monday that the discovery in Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte "seems part of a trend of killings, looting and other abuses committed by ant...

Libya's interim government will hand the body of slain despot Moammar Gaddafi to his relatives after consulting with them on the location of his burial, a senior government advisor said on Sunday.

Moammar Gaddafi's daughter Aisha was hospitalised in Algeria after learning that her father and brother Muttasim had been killed by Libyan transitional government forces, according to a news report.

An examination of several brief video clips that have emerged since Col. Moammar el-Gaddafi and his son Muatassim were killed on Thursday seems to suggest that both men suffered their fatal wounds sometime after they were captured.

Moammar Gaddafi's blood-streaked body has been stashed in a commercial freezer at a shopping center as Libyans try to keep it away from crowds as they figure out where and when to bury the hated leader.

They had the ultimate trophies of the revolution: the colonel's golden gun, his satellite phone, his brown scarf and one black boot. A small group of fighters from Misurata, the vanguard of the force attacking Colonel Moammar el-Gaddafi's former hometown and final hide-out, Sirte, said they had stumbled upon him hiding in a drainage pipe. He was bl...

The burial of slain leader Moammar Gaddafi has been delayed until his death can be further examined and a decision is made about where to inter the body, Libyan officials said on Friday, as the U.N. human rights office called for an investigation into his death.

Dragged from hiding in a drainage pipe, a wounded Muammar Gaddafi raised his hands and begged revolutionary fighters: "Don't kill me, my sons." Within an hour, he was dead, but not before jubilant Libyans had vented decades of hatred by pulling the eccentric dictator's hair and parading his bloodied body on the hood of a truck.

Colonel Moammar el-Gaddafi, who ruled Libya for 42 years, died on Thursday as his last stronghold fell to the Libyan forces that drove him from power, officials of Libya's transitional government said. There were conflicting initial reports of the specific circumstances of his death: some said he was killed in Sirte, his hometown; others said he di...

The hometown of Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi fell today as the last vestige of control for the man once hailed as the "king of kings of Africa" came to an end. And officials in the transitional government say Gaddafi, who has been in hiding since rebels seized control of Tripoli, was captured or killed.

It has been over 40 years since Col. Moammar el-Gaddafi came to power in Libya - and for nearly as long the West watched his every move. The financier of an eclectic array of guerrilla groups around the globe, he was responsible, according to Western intelligence, for many of the deadliest terrorist attacks in the mid-80s, including the 1988 bombin...
