Libya rebels 'capture Gaddafi' Press Association - 1 hour 21 minutes ago Toppled Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi has
been captured by rebel troops, according to
reports on the country's state television. Officials at the Ministry of Defence and Foreign Office
in London were trying to verify reports coming out
of Libya that the fugitive former leader had been
captured or even killed. Amid confusing scenes in the city of Sirte, which has
fallen to troops of the National Transitional Council
following a two-month siege, reports suggested
Gaddafi had been seized, wounded in both legs,
after trying to flee in a convoy targeted by Nato. Other reports suggested that Gaddafi had died from
wounds suffered during his capture. In a statement on NTC-controlled state television, a
presenter draped in the flag of liberated Libya said:
"Gaddafi is in the hands of the rebels. Gaddafi
personally is in the hands of the rebels. "We have captured Gaddafi. Libya is joyous, Libya is
celebrating, Libya has given a lesson to all those
who want to learn. "I salute you, rebels. I salute you, revolutionaries.
You have captured this criminal who has killed the
mothers of the martyrs."
