Libyan forces 'capture Gaddafi'
 
Eagerly awaiting confirmation.

Quote:

Commanders for Libya's transitional authorities say they have captured ousted leader Col Muammar Gaddafi.
The reports came after transitional forces claimed control of Sirte, Col Gaddafi's birthplace, following weeks of fierce fighting.
Quote:

A soldier who says he captured Muammar Gaddafi told the BBC the colonel had shouted: "Don't shoot!"

Well, I'll be...if this is true then it's great news for the rebels...if it is true.

Al Jazeera says dead, Reuters says dead, BBC says alive, as you say - awaiting confirmation. :hmmm:

Good news, either way.

I've heard he is wounded in both legs and he is being driven by ambulance to Misratah...200 miles away :o

Strange how they found him hiding in a hole....I wonder who the last tyrant was that was found in similar circumstances :DL

BBC saying Dead now too in Live reports...but unconfirmed.

I'm thinking it is the end of the road for Gaddafi.

Dowly 10-20-11 08:11 AM

Ouch, he doesn't look too well.

soopaman2 10-20-11 08:12 AM

Wow they beat the tar outta him..

I don't know if this is good.

We have to wait and see what pops up.

I would have liked to see him stoned to death in typical arab tradition by the families of the Lockerbie flight. On that note, you think cancer boy scapegoat is safe now?

He may even be the next president, which is why i say don't get happy yet.

Sometimes you get exactly what you wanted then realize it is worse.

They just captured Sirte the other day! Was he even trying to hide? Saddam at least hid out for nine months before they captured him.

I'm very disappointed in you Qaddafi... :nope:

Quite, he's not very good at hide and seek, is he? :nope:

It appears that he was true to his words- that he would fight to the death. Saddam didn't have the balls- it seems Gaddafi did, but no doubt driven by his perverted ego.

What about his hideous son Saif, haven't seen any news on him? - personally I find him equally repulsive, in fact more so than his father.

Good Riddance :haha:

I read he had a golden revolver with him, that means he was at least on level 55 in COD: now we know how he spent the past few weeks.

AVGWarhawk 10-20-11 08:39 AM

He did not have a chance:
