Deposed Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi was reportedly captured and killed by rebels with the mission of extinguishing the last significant resistance loyal to the former leader, near his hometown of Sirte in Libya on Thursday (October 20)- see photo/video below.

NATO and the US State Department still haven’t been able to confirm the reports. Gaddafi allegedly died of wounds in both of his legs and head and his body has been taken to a secret location for security reasons.

“We are checking and assessing the situation,”‘ a NATO official said. “Clearly these are very significant developments, which will take time to confirm. If it is true, then this is truly a historic day for the people of Libya.”

“Gaddafi’s body is with our unit in a car and we are taking the body to a secret place for security reasons,” Mohamed Abdel Kafi, an NTC official in the city of Misrata told Reuters.

Although the Libyan dictator’s death hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, a photo of a wounded or dead Gaddafi has been released (check picture below).
