UPDATE: Initial reports coming out of Libya reported that he was taken alive, wounded in both legs. An ambulance driver confirmed this. Then came a report that he was also wounded in the head… a fact supposedly overlooked by the first reports. The head wound took his life.
UPDATE 2: It wasn't the "rebels" that got him, it was Obama and NATO that killed him.

"Majid, the NTC official, said Gadhafi was trying to flee in a convoy whenNATO warplanes attacked.
Majid said NATO warplanes struck the convoy and hit four cars as it headed west." MSNBC

UPDATE 3: It looks like this is what happened: Gadhafi was fleeing Sirte in a convoy which was targeted and hit by NATO warplanes. Gadhafi was seriously wounded, but survived the attack and was captured by NTC forces who were nearby. They were taking him to Misrata, alive, when they were given directions to kill him so that there could not be a trial which would possibly expose US and NATO crimes. According to reports, Gadhafi was killed by a bullet wound to the head but the NATO airstrike which wounded him and took out the convoy was conducted with missile strikes against the vehicles, not bullets. All early reports stated he was alive and captured with wounds to his legs and then suddenly the story was that he was shot in the head. It's possible that the NTC contacted our State Department and were given the order to finish him off and claim it happened on the battlefield. They murdered him to prevent a trial.

"Update at 7:31 a.m. ET: Reuters quotes an official with the National Transitional Council as saying a woundedGadhafi was captured near Sirte as tried to flee in convoy which attacked by NATO.
Update at 7:28 a.m. ET: Former Libyan minister of information Ali Errishi tells Al Jazeera that top officials in the National Transitional Council have confirmed Gadhafi's capture.
The Reuters reports says that Gadhafi was wounded in both legs.
Al Jazeera quotes an NTC official as saying only that a "high-profile target" has been captured.
The report come as the transitional government says it has seized Gadhafi's hometown of Sirte." USA Today

UPDATE 4: "Progressive" news sites and fake "progressive" websites are celebrating this vile murder and the "rebels" who are currently looting and murdering people in Sirte and elsewhere in Libya. CHANGE indeed… just check out this odious comment from a commenter at Daily Kos which got 15 "up" votes and no "down" votes so far.. sounds like the same monstrous bullshit we used to criticize the Bush supporters for parroting… it won't be long before democrats are cheering Cainlike statements about blaming the unemployed for the economic situation in this country.

President Obama is on a streak (15+ / 0-)

Osama Bin Laden: Obama 1 Bush 0
Gaddafi: Obama 1 Reagan 0

President Obama, May 5, 2011: "When we say we will never forget, we mean what we say".

UPDATE 5: So much for justice and democracy. Russian President suggested after news of Gadhafi's CAPTURE.. that the PEOPLE of Libya should decide his fate. Where that to be the case, the VAST MAJORITY of them would elect him back into office.. not kill him. So guess that explains his sudden development of a bullet in the head.

"Speaking at a joint news conference with the Dutch PM, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said the Libyan people should decide Gadhafi's fate. "We expect that peace will come to Libya, and all those ruling the state will be able to reach an agreement on the structure of the governing bodies. As for Gadhafi's personal fate, it is the Libyan people who should decide on it," he said, Russian state-run media reported" CNN News

UPDATE 6: Seems like the story is ever changing to meet the requirements of the imperialist regimes which took his life, but the truth is easily discernable when you take the time to read through the bullshit. Seems like the "we found him hiding in a hole" story may in fact be true.Looks like the "hole" they found him in was a drain pipe under the road where NATO bombed his convoy. He may have crawled, wounded, into the pipe to try to hide and when they found him, they captured him… alive. Then someone gave the order to make sure he was killed.

"A Libyan government fighter gave an apparently different account of Gadhafi's capture to the one provided by Mlegta. The unnamed fighter claimed Gadhafi was hiding in a hole, shouting, "Don't shoot, don't shoot," when he was caught." MSNBC

UPDATE 7: Gadhafi was certainly alive and talking when captured. He was clearly shot in the head afterward probably on the road to Misrata. This confirms the fighter's report that Gadhafi said "Don't shoot" when they found him in the drainage pipe. He had not been shot in the head at that time or for some time after his capture.

[Update 10:22 a.m. ET] Guma el-Gamaty, a Libyan political activist former London coordinator for Libya's National Transitional Council, told CNN from London that leaders of anti-Gadhafi forces told him that Gadhafi was conscious and was talking shortly after he was injured.
Gadhafi said, "who are you, what's going on?" but died later, according to el-Gamaty, who cited anti-Gadhafi forces. He said Gadhafi was injured as he resisted attempts to capture him. CNN News

UPDATE 8:

"According to The Daily Telegraph reporter who is on the ground, the strongman was "cornered in a drain underneath a road in open countryside to the west of the city of Sirte." It came shortly after Gaddafi's vehicles which were trying to escape the town were hit by a NATO air strike, forcing Gaddafi and several bodyguards to take refuge in the drain." Russia Today

A mere two days after the imperialist bitch and neoliberal servant / fake democrat Hillary Clinton visited Libya in her flying fortress, the so-called "rebels" of Libya, the sellouts who traded position and future wealth for selling out their country, their leader, and their people, are announcing the death of Moammar Gadhafi in the city of Sirte, his hometown. This photo appears to be legit and at this point more bullshit propaganda would certainly work against their efforts like the last time they announced the death of one of Moammar's son's simply to have him come out in the press announcing he was still very much alive.
I certainly hope that this is not true but I fear it may very well be. NATO forces have been bombing Sirte for weeks now after cruelly cutting off water and power to the holdout city for weeks on end. Perhaps as many as thousands of innocent civilians have died during this latest siege, once billed as an attempt to protect human life in Libya, now exposed for the cruel imperialist war of aggression it really was. And the "progressives" of this country will cheer this monstrous act of violence and abject cruelty and the "rebels" still plunder, steal, and murder at will, free of any media scrutiny in this morally bankrupt country of ours.

It is a black day for the people of Libya and the supporters of civil society everywhere.
