[size=13pt] WOW![/size]

Let’s start out with Shane, who is obviously trying to justify in his own head his actions from last week. He tells Andrea that you have to be able to shut down when taking another man’s life in order to save someone you care about, but I’m thinking that it’s much easier to do that when you aren’t also lying to everyone about what actually happened.

The search is still on for Sophia and I’m getting more and more worried the longer it’s taking to find her. If they have to put down that little girl, I think it’s going to scar me for life. But I am starting to like Daryl more and more as his softer side comes out through all this.

Carl is on the mend and Rick is trying to do what he thinks is best for him by asking Hershel if they can stay on at his place. At first I thought that might be a good thing but it’s funny that the moment the old doc agreed to it, I started getting a very bad feeling that it’s somehow going to bite Rick in the ass someday. Plus there’s the fact that his wife has just found out she’s pregnant and if my math is correct, I’m thinking that it’s not his. Rick is not having a good year at all. Then again, neither is anyone else on this show so I guess fair’s fair. Now I’m just wondering what Lori’s going to do about it.

My favorite bits,

Being sort of frightened by Shane’s new look. Not just the buzzed hair but the fact that he’s wearing Otis’ clothes.

Wanting to die when everyone, especially Otis’ wife, asked Shane to speak on his behalf.

Shane telling his lie about that night, while the real images of what happened flashed through his head. Oh man.

Rick agreeing to go without weapons in deference to Hershel’s wishes. That can’t have been easy for him.

Rick telling Shane that if they found Sophia bit, they would have to do what needs to be done. Gulp.

Rick calling Glenn the “go to town expert” – yep, that’s totally him.

Giggling as soon as Maggie mentioned the word “horse”, knowing exactly what Glenn’s reaction to that would be.

Hershel telling Rick as soon as they found Sophia, they needed to move on. Wow, harsh.

“For the first time in my life, I’m betting on the snowball.”

“Looks like we got ourselves a swimmer.” – It’s so very wrong how many times this show makes me laugh out loud with lines like that one.

Rick telling Hershel that he felt that he and God should just stay out of each other’s way. Can’t say I blame the poor guy.

“It tells me that God’s got a strange sense of humor.” – And now I have a Depeche Mode song stuck in my head.

Everyone looking at Glenn when they said they would need living bait for the zombie fish (what else am I supposed to call it?).

Nearly screaming when the pipe holding Glenn broke. Holy crap.my poor heart!

Yeah! Go Glenn! That was pretty freaking badass.

Just when I think they can’t possibly find a more disgusting zombie, they pull that thing out of the water…oh and then it splits in half. *is never going to eat again as long as she lives*

“Good thing we didn’t do anything stupid, like shoot it.”

That sign in the drug store window. For some reason that really got to me.

Glenn trying to cover what he was really getting off the shelf by grabbing a box of condoms instead. Oops.

Maggie flat out telling Glenn she would have sex with him. Yet another moment on this series that was surprisingly powerful in its simplicity.

Hershel telling Rick that he would consider letting them stay. Now I’m wondering what those aspects were that he wouldn’t discuss.

Maggie telling Glenn not to spoil it when he went to open his mouth to talk about what happened. LOL.

Daryl giving Carol that rose in the beer bottle and telling her that it bloomed for Sophia. Now who knew he could be that sweet?

Carl remarking that both he and his dad had been shot.

Lori reading that little plus sign on that little stick. Such a small thing that means something so huge. Wow, I do not envy her at all.

What did you think of this episode of The Walking Dead? Got any favorite bits or least favorite bits of your own? I’d love to hear from you!

[size=13pt]Season 2, Episode 4: Cherokee Rose[/size]



All is quiet at the Hershel homestead. You'd almost think the zombie apocalypse hadn't occurred. It did, of course, and we're soon reminded by the arrival of all our favorite survivors, who have abandoned their highway campsite for country living.

Carl continues to recover under the watch of Rick and Lori. Dale is overjoyed that the boy will OK -- and Rick makes a point to thank Shane for his heroics. Of course, Shane knows HOW he was able to get away from the undead and shudders at the memory. His shame becomes worse when Hershel asks him to speak during Otis's funeral. "You were the last one with him," cries Patricia. "Please, I need to hear." Shane spins a story about Otis being a hero who willingly sacrificed himself to save Carl. It's a convincing story.

Later, the entire gang turns its attention toward missing Sophia, pouring over survey maps and the like. Hershel politely suggests that the new arrivals don't carry guns on his property. Shane doesn't like it, but Rick agrees. Maggie then volunteers to go to the local pharmacy to stock up on medical supplies. Rick suggests that Glenn accompany her. Sometime later, Lori and Shane have an awkward exchange. "Did you mean it?" Shane asks. "When you said 'stay,' did you mean it?" Says Lori: "I meant it." Shane then teaches Andrea how to strip the weapons before he stores them all in the RV. Hershel, meanwhile, approaches Rick with a stern reminder. "Once you find this girl and your boy is fit for travel, I expect you'll move on," Hershel says. "We need to be clear on that."

Dale and T-Dog are busy pumping water out of the well when Dale hears a noise from the deep. A horribly bloated zombie is at the bottom of the well. The disgusting walker might or might not have already contaminated the water, but blowing its brains out surely will. So how to get it out? The gang lowers a canned ham, but the zombie doesn't go for it. "We need live bait," Andrea says. Everybody looks at Glenn, the smallest in the group.

CUT to Glenn with a rope wrapped around his chest. He is lowered down into the well toward the snarling, bleached zombie. Suddenly, the pipe to which the rope is tied SNAPS, sending Glenn PLUMMETING downward. T-Dog is able to grab the pipe and holds on for dear life. Moments later, the group pulls Glenn out of the well. Safe. Even better, Glenn managed to fit a noose around the walker's neck and "hook" it. So, as it turns out, the boneheaded plan actually worked. The zombie can now be hauled out.

Daryl, in the meantime, approaches a rotting house with his crossbow at the ready. He finds scraps of recently devoured food and -- in the closet -- evidence of a makeshift bed. Has Sophia been here? Back at the farm, the survivors haul the zombie out of the well, but the squirming thing gets stuck on the lip. They HEAVE together , and the zombie SPLITS in half. Its lower body plunges into the water below in a cascade of blood of guts. Its upper half SNARLS and SPITS on the ground above until T-Dog BASHES it in the face with a blunt object. So the well will have to be sealed off, after all -- just in case.

Back to the woods, where Shane schools Andrea on the finer points of using a firearm. Basically, shooting a moving, "living" target is a whole lot more difficult than hitting a stationary target during training. "There ain't nothing easy about taking a man's life," says Shane, who is clearly thinking of Otis. "But when you get it done, you have to forget it. I guess I haven't quite got that last part down yet." Glenn and Maggie, meanwhile, ride into town on horseback. Maggie is quiet -- she is still quite upset over seeing the bloated zombie split and half and then beaten. Glenn explains that this group is rather "numb" to such grisly conclusions. They reach the pharmacy and Glenn reaches into his pocket to reveal a private note from Lori. It requests a pregnancy test. Uh oh. Maggie then approaches Glenn, who scrambles to hide the test , accidently picking up a pack of condoms instead. Maggie takes that as a sign and basically announces that she wants to have sex. Glenn is shocked. "You're not the only one who is lonely," she whispers. They are soon stripped to the waist and making out in the middle of the ransacked pharmacy.

Later, Rick deliberately puts Hershel on the spot, asking the patriarch to allow his band of ragged survivors to stay on the farm. Rick explains that he is only concerned with the well being of his boy. "There are aspects to this, things that I can't and won't discuss, but if you and your people respect my rules , no promises, but I will consider it," Hershel says. Rick doesn't ask about the things Hershel "won't discuss" and thanks the old man for meeting him halfway. Riding back to the farm, Maggie rather coldly tells Glenn that their dalliance was a "one time thing." Glenn appears hurt, but is quickly intercepted by Lori. Glenn hands over the pregnancy test and doesn't say a word. Nor does Lori.

CUT to Daryl, who returns from searching for Sophia with a Cherokee Rose that he gives to Carol. Daryl explains that the Indians believed that the rose bloomed as a way to comfort mothers grieving the loss of their children. "I'm not fool enough to believe that there are any flowers blooming for my brother, but I believe that this one bloomed for your little girl," he explains. A grateful Carol cries. Back the farm, Carl awakens from a deep sleep to find his father sitting next to the bed. Rick apologizes for not telling Carl that Sophia is missing. "I didn't mean to lie, I just didn't want to worry you," Rick says. Carl understands. Rick then gives his son his sheriff's hat. "I love you," dad says.

Later, Lori watches as her husband removes his badge and shirt after another long, long day. Is there something that she wants to tell him? No. Instead, she wanders outside to an isolated spot to take the pregnancy test. It is positive. Lori is terrified. She begins to cry.

I dnt subscribe to this idea rara.
Hell would have found a second home in Nigeria?
Once again, I love those strong women in the video. Very strong women.

ezeagu:

Do you want to know the effects of US not being neutral? See Vietnam. This was the Cold war era, no? The USSR wouldn't  have accepted anything but a communist Biafra.

lol
What was the difference between Biafra (1967-1970) and Vietnam (same time)?
The two had a taste of hell, but one was able to beat back the aggressor while the other crumbled and disintegrated to pieces!
Looking at all the pictures and videos, i see no difference between what happened in My Lai and Asaba (massacre)
Biafra was already HELL second home at that time.
Oh! of course they'd have become a communist state, at least their dream of sovereignty would have been realised,
The people that died wouldn't have died in vain.
The secret of every war is getting a powerful ally to counter the force stacked against you and at that time, that force was USSR.
Nigeria getting USSR behind them was a master stroke, and they reaped the reward in military hardware.
Look at China and Vietnam! though they are communist
They've been able to morph the ideology to suit their economy and their states.
I believe capitalism is over rated!
I'd rather have a communist Biafra than a dead one.

Did some people say USSR? Did they not see Vietnam, Korea and Cuba? The US would have no longer been "neutral".

^^What's the result of US neutrality?
British Massacre by proxy!
You are forgetting that America and Britain follow the same foreign policy.
I still maintain the equation would have been balanced if USSR had backed Biafra.
At least all those Migs bombing the markets, hospitals and refugee centres in the east would have been flying over Kano and Sokoto!

^^^ Biafran War, i think was the only war that the west backed government won at that time,
because of the myopia of the Biafran leaders.
They thought they could win the war solely on human sympathy.
Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos e.t.c  backed by Russia and China gave the west backed puppets trouncing!
How I wish Ojukwu had gone the RED way!

The greatest strategic mistake Ojukwu made was not to get U.S.S.R behind him,
Imagine the biafrans armed with AK47 and Katyusha rockets e.t.c !
History would have been different now!
But Biafra w'd have had a North Korean kind of Government.

[size=13pt]Season 2, Episode 3: Save The Last One[/size]



Another good one. Wow. And with a twist I never saw coming, though I should have. I really should have.

We opened with an almost surreal shot of Shane (Jon Bernthal, better than he’s ever been) taking an electric razor to his head in a steam-filled bathroom scene that was one part Taxi Driver and one part Full Metal Jacket. It was unsettling, as unsettling as the show has ever been (and The Walking Dead pretty much has the monopoly on unsettling right about now). And that only gave us a tease…

Speaking of unsettling, how about not being able sleep because one woman is sobbing her eyes out and the other one keeps field-stripping her revolver? Just that combination of sounds had me on edge. I can’t imagine how Daryl (played with surprising nuance by Norman Reedus) was able to stand it. And really, he couldn’t. Daryl is yet another pleasant surprise, and it’s a treat just watching him open up a little, revealing the good guy within. I’m still sort of waiting for the other shoe to drop with him; he’s either got one hell of a personal demon to reveal… or his brother’s coming back.

(Or both. My money’s on the demon that also involves his brother.)

I’m probably in the minority, I realize, where most television critics are concerned, given the fact that I love this show unapologetically, and sure, and the show takes some lumps where character development is concerned. Personally I don’t see the problem. We’re literally nine episodes in. How much development do you want from people living hour-to-hour, constantly clinging to life? There is development—the basic question of live or die—there’s nothing more vital, and it sort of takes precedence over “traditional” character development ploys.

Nothing illustrates that better than Rick (Andrew Lincoln)’s talk with Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies); you can’t get a better, more tense scene from any hospital drama. The question of “should we even try to save him” is made real when we’re living in a zombie-infested world.

But for “character development traditionalists,” I guess we had what could be called the barest inklings of maybe / might be / could be romances, with Daryl and Andrea (it seems logical), and even with shy Glenn (Steven Yeun) and Maggie (the amazingly chameleonic Lauren Cohan). Both potential romances show promise, assuming we get some life from these characters… and I have the feeling if we get to see them to fruition, both will be completely different from the other. (Daryl and Andrea feels like a Bonnie and Clyde in the making, don’t it?)

But in the end you’re not going to top the “character development” whopper we got with Shane.

I called it, of course. Fat Otis was zombie chow. But that dude redeemed himself at least. Big time. He wanted to do right by Carl. R.I.P. big guy. But… I didn’t expect it to go the way it did. I’m not sure that’s even how it went down in the comic. Someday I’m going to read that motherfarmer.

So the show brought us back, full circle, to Shane and his radical transformation. Bernthal is just bleeping awesome, and I can’t wait to see what comes of this. Because you might excuse it by saying, “Well, he did it for Carl” … but maybe he didn’t.

Maybe he just knew it was life or death—it was him or the fat guy.

Reminds me of a shirt my wife owns: “WARNING: If Zombies Chase Us, I’m Tripping You.”

I guess replace “trip” with “shoot you in the leg so that you flail around and make enough noise to draw all the zombies to your hot, bleeding corpse.”

Shane’s obviously not coming out of this unscathed. You can’t make that kind of moral decision and come out clean (at least not on television). As Daryl succintly put it: “He made his choice. Opted out. Let ‘im hang.”

I hope they give us a healthy dose of Shane before the show opts out of this character. Man, I want years of this.

[size=13pt]RECAP[/size]

Sophia is still missing. Carl is still ailing. It's not a good time to be a kid during the zombie apocalypse. CUT to Shane and Otis, who are running through the hallways of a school overrun by walkers. Rick, meanwhile, assures Lori that Shane will return with what Hershel needs to operate on Carl. Lori doesn't appear completely convinced.

CUT to Daryl, who is camped out with Andrea and a weeping Carol. Feeling sympathetic, Daryl offers to take a walk in the middle of the night to search for Sophia. Andrea volunteers to come along. "Are you sure this is the best idea?" asks Dale. Naturally, everybody ignores the voice of reason. Back at the school, Otis and Shane are trapped at the top of the gymnasium bleachers. Otis makes a run for it in one direction while Shane runs toward a window in the opposite direction. He SHOOTS a zombie in the face at point blank range before falling multiple stories to the ground. He limps away.

Sometime later, T-Dog and Glenn show up at the Hershel farm house and meet Maggie on the front porch. Glenn appears love struck. CUT to Daryl, who explains to Andrea that he once disappeared into the woods for nine days as a child. The point: Sophia might just be OK. Andrea isn't convinced. Back at the farm, Hershel announces that they might have to operate on Carl without the respirator as the boy is fading fast. "Maybe this is how it's supposed to be," Lori tells her husband, who refuses to believe that Carl is better off dead -- regardless of the current world order. Lori brings up Jackie, who chose death. Was Jackie right? "I don't accept that," Rick says. "I can't accept that." But why? Rick can't explain himself when pressed to explain why Carl would be better off living.

Shane, in the meantime, is about to overcome by walkers when a SHOT rings out, exploding some zombie heads. It's Otis -- and he has saved Shane's bacon. Back at the farmhouse, Carl wakes up and is suddenly lucid. "Where are we?" Carl asks. "It hurts." Lori strokes her boy's head as he talks about the pretty deer -- and then goes completely still. Lori gasps -- and then the boy undergoes a violent seizure. "His brain isn't getting enough blood," Hershel explains. Rick offers his arm for the umpteenth time.



Later, Daryl and Andrea sneak through the dark woods and come upon a campsite. They find a walker hanging by his neck from a tree. Poor guy tried to commit suicide before "turning," but forgot to shoot himself in the head. Animals have munched on the swinging zombie's legs. "He made his choice," Daryl says. "Let him hang." Andrea confesses that she doesn't know if she wants to live or if it's "just a habit." Daryl then honors her request to show mercy and SHOOTS the walker in the head with an arrow.

Back at the farm house, T-Dog gets stitched up by Patricia while Maggie catches Glenn praying. "This is my first try," says Glenn with a dispirited laugh. Maggie notes that quite a few prayers have gone unanswered as of late. Dale, meanwhile, has decided to ignore his own good advice and go searching for Andrea and Daryl by himself. He approaches the edge of the highway -- and then stops, uncertain of how to proceed. CUT to Rick, who earnestly tells his wife that Carl's moment of lucidness is a message. "He talked about the deer, Lori!" Rick says. In other words, he focused on life rather than death. Otis and Shane, in the meantime, continue to fight for their lives outside the school. Hurry, boys.

CUT to Hershel, who demands that Lori and Rick make a choice. Operate or let Carl slip away? "We do it," she says through tears. Carl is put on a table and the good doctor picks up his scalpel. Right before he is about to make the first incision, Shane ROARS up to the front door in a pickup truck. Rick hugs his friend, who is clearly very, very shaken. He admits to having left the slower Otis behind in order to return as quickly as he did. Back at the road, Dale doesn't have to go out into the woods, after all, as Andrea and Daryl return (without Sophia). "The choices I made for you were not mine to make," says Dale, handing over Andrea's gun to her. "Please, don't make me regret this." Does Andrea forgive Dale? She is trying. Back at the farm house, Maggie weeps over the apparent loss of Otis -- and the loss of all her family and friends. Glenn comforts her.

Later, Hershel emerges onto the front porch and tells Lori and Rick that Carl has undergone surgery -- and appears to have stabilized. Lori and Rick weep. Their boy is going to be OK. Hershel now must turn his attention to breaking the bad news to Patricia, who nearly falls over when told that Otis did not make it back. Shane can barely watch the scene. He walks into Carl's recovery room to find Lori crying over her boy. The two former lovers look at each other. "Stay," Lori pleads. Shane says nothing. He walks slowly to the shower and examines his wounds. A tuft of hair has apparently been pulled out of this head. FLASHBACK to Shane and Otis limping away from a wild pack of zombies. Suddenly, Shane uses his last bullet to SHOOT Otis in the leg. Screaming, Otis latches onto Shane and pulls out a chunk of his hair. After a furious struggle, Shane escapes, leaving Otis behind as a distraction to the walkers, who envelop him and tear him to shreds. It enables Shane to get away and save Carl. But at what cost to Shane?

The last we see of Shane, he is staring into a fogged over mirror, having just shaved his head to hide the last evidence of his struggle with Otis. Not good.

[size=13pt]"What Lies Ahead" was a good premiere for Season 2 but could've been a lot better. The opening was fantastic, Rick kneels down and talks into the radio trying to contact a friend who saved his life when he left the hospital in episode one. No response and Rick and the group decide to head out away from the city trying to find refuge somewhere else. They come across a highway that blocks their road with flipped over cars and bodies as well as hundreds of zombies coming towards them  cheesy cheesy . The scene when the group hides from the zombie mob was tremendous wink . It was suspenseful, it was nail biting, and it kept me on the edge of my seat.  grin[/size]

Flashback: Lori confides in a female friend that she and Rick had a big fight the night before. "Do you still love Rick?" asks the friend. Lori clearly isn't entirely sure. Suddenly, Shane pulls up with bad news: Rick has been hurt. He is in surgery. Lori tries to keep herself together as the school bell rings. Carl emerges from the school and Lori breaks the news to the boy, who immediately begins to cry. They embrace.

Present Day: Rick runs, carrying a seemingly lifeless Carl in his arms. Shane drags the man who shot Carl, an overweight and apologetic fellow named Otis. Otis (Pruitt Taylor Vince) tells Rick to head to a nearby farmhouse and talk to a man named Herchel Greene. "Herchel will help your boy!" Otis screams.

Rick runs to the farmhouse, explains that Otis shot the boy and watches as Herchel (Scott Wilson), apparently a doctor, springs into action. Carl has a heartbeat barely. Shane soon arrives and wipes blood off his longtime boss and friend. Rick is distraught. Otis is distraught. Herchel thinks he might be able to save the boy.

The rest of the survivors, meanwhile, continue to "beat the bushes" in an attempt to find Sophia. Lori heard the gunshot earlier -- and worries that Rick and Carl are somehow involved.

Back at the road, Dale and T-Dog (IronE Singleton) wait. T-Dog's wound looks to be severely infected. "You could die from blood poisoning!" Dale says. "We need to find you some antibiotics." They decide to search all the surrounding cars. Rick, in the meantime, is called inside the farmhouse to give blood. Carl screams in pain before passing out. Herchel is able to extract a bullet fragment. "One down, five to go," Herchel sighs.

Later, Rick is frantic. He wants to find Lori so she can be there with Carl. Shane talks his friend down. He then recalls how Lori reacted when Rick was in the hospital with a gunshot wound. "The strength of that woman you can't imagine," Shane tells Rick. Herchel then enters and explains that Carl needs full-fledged surgery. Herchel needs equipment that might be at a nearby high school, where a FEMA shelter had been set up. Unfortunately, the place is likely overrun by walkers. Otis, feeling responsible, volunteers to accompany Shane to the high school to retrieve the needed supplies. They take one of the pick-up trucks from the Greenes.

Back at the road, Dale and T-Dog have struck out. "No drugs," Dale says. T-Dog then begins to tell Dale that they've been left behind because they're the "weak ones." T-Dog then comments that Daryl, a "redneck," has never forgiven him for Merle's fate. "If I'm not mistaken, that redneck went out of his way to save your ass," Dale says. T-Dog suggests that he and Dale strike out on their own. Dale is aghast. He then feels T-Dog's forehead. The man is burning up with fever from his infected arm. "Where the hell are they?" wonders a worried Dale.

Andrea, meanwhile, is searching the woods for Sophia when she is suddenly attacked by a walker. She screams. At the last moment Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohan) rides from the woods on a horse and bashes the walker in the head. Andrea is saved. "There's been an accident," Maggie tells Lori. "Carl's been shot!" Lori jumps onto the horse with Maggie, who gives the rest of the gang directions to the nearby farmhouse before riding away.

Back at that farmhouse, Herchel explains to Rick that his wife and stepson were lost to the plague. His daughters, Maggie and Beth, survived. "These people here, all we've got left is each other," Herchel says. "Just hope we can ride it out in peace until there's a cure." And Herchel believes that there will be a cure. "It's nature correcting itself -- restoring some balance," he says. Rick is skeptical. Just then, Maggie and Lori ride up to the farmhouse. Lori runs inside to her sleeping and sick boy. Mother and father cry softly together.

Later, Rick gives more blood to his son. Lori then begins asking questions of Herchel, who reveals that he is actually a veterinarian. "And you've done this surgery before on what? Cows? Pigs?!" Lori shrilly demands. "You're completely in over your head, aren't you?" Herchel responds quietly: "Ma'am, aren't we all?"

Shane and Otis, meanwhile, arrive at the high school and surveil the location. It is indeed crawling with walkers. Uh oh.

Back at the road, Daryl and Dale explain that they'll stay with the RV in case Sophia returns. Dale then explains that T-Dog might not survive if he doesn't get some antibiotics. Daryl snorts derisively, then rummages through his motorcycle saddlebags and casually hands over a bag full of pills -- apparently Merle's old "stash."

"Not generics," he says, "top of the line stuff." Once again, the redneck comes through.

Herchel, meanwhile, explains to Rick and Lori that Carl doesn't have much time. He will need to operate soon if the boy is to have any chance at all.

At the high school, Shane and Otis find flares in the back of a cop car and toss them into the parking lot to distract and draw the walkers away from the medical trailer. It works -- and the two men race inside to find the surgical supplies. They load up their backpacks and exit , to find the walkers waiting. Shane and Otis make a run for it -- but there are walkers at every turn. In desperation, they barricade themselves inside the school and find that they are apparently trapped there.

It appears they have failed in their mission to get the supplies back to Herchel.

'I killed Gaddafi', claims Libyan rebel as most graphic video yet of dictator being beaten emerges

A Libyan revolutionary fighter has bragged in a leaked video that he was the man who killed Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, that country's despotic former ruler.

The young man, who is pictured but has not yet been identified, said he killed the fallen dictator because he could not bear the thought of taking him alive.

'We grabbed him,' the fighter says in the video. 'I hit him in the face. Some fighters wanted to take him away and that's when I shot him, twice: in the face and in the chest.'

To prove the video's authenticity, the fighter then flaunts what appears to be Gaddafi's bloodstained shirt, before brandishing a gold ring he says he took from the despot's lifeless finger.

The sensational claims come as the clearest and most graphic video yet of Gaddafi being savagely beaten in the wake of his capture has emerged online.

The video shows the bloodied dictator after he has been hauled from his hiding place in Sirte, his hometown, being kicked and punched by his captors.

To shouts of 'Allahu akbar', and with the sounds of assault rifle fire in the background, the men manhandle the profusely bleeding Gaddafi across a patch of wasteland and into a waiting truck


Hero or villain? A leaked video shows this young NTC fighter claiming he was the man who killed the former Libyan leader - because he couldn't bear to take him alive


Souvenir: The unnamed fighter shows the camera a gold ring, which he says he took off Gaddafi when he killed him

In frenzied scenes, rebel fighters rain blows down on to the former Libyan leader, pulling him by his hair and kicking dust up into his face.

The injured Gaddafi seems to remain silent throughout, despite enduring a string of crunching blows to his face and head.


Got him! NTC fighters race to the scene as it emerges they have got their hands on the revolution's most wanted man

The two videos have emerged the day after Libya's new leader, prime minister Mahmoud Jibril, said he wished the hated despot was still alive to stand trial.

The apparent summary execution of Colonel Gaddafi last week has already stained the reputation of the new Libya, with international allies of the National Transitional Council (NTC) urging the new government to investigate.

Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said the reputation of the NTC had been 'a little bit stained' by the way the dictator died at the hands of his captors.

A series of graphic clips, some taken on mobile phones, have been broadcast around the world from the scene showing a wounded and bleeding Gaddafi being manhandled by fighters loyal to the NTC before being shot dead.

The images appear to dispel claims made by Libya's new government that the former leader was killed by crossfire on the way to hospital.

Instead, they point to a frenzied execution surrounded by jeering rebels. Yesterday a post-mortem confirmed that he died from a gunshot to the head.

the UN and Amnesty International have demanded an investigation into evidence suggesting the former leader was summarily executed after being captured alive.

Mobile phone footage of Gaddafi's last moments shows the bloodied dictator being taunted with a pistol, before a single shot rings out, followed by silence.
Omran al-Oweib, the commander of the rebels who captured Gaddafi, admitted things had 'got out of hand' among young soldiers when they tried to bring him in alive.

Libya's transitional leader has ordered an investigation into the death after the U.S. and other international powers pressed for the probe.

Mustafa Abdul-Jalil told a news conference in Benghazi that the NTC have formed a committee to investigate the killing on Thursday, amid conflicting reports of how the dictator who ruled Libya for four decades died.

'We have formed a committee to investigate how Gaddafi was killed during the clashes with his supporters while arresting him,' Jalil said, adding that whoever killed him may have had something to hide.

'All Libyans wanted to prosecute him over what he did to them, from executions to imprisonments, corruption, wasting their money. Those who have an interest in killing him before prosecuting him are those who had an active role with him,' he said.

There is also great concern in the wider international community over the way in which Libyans are continuing to file past Gaddafi's dead body in a meat locker for a fourth day.

[size=13pt]Season 2, Episode 1: What Lies Ahead[/size]

Zombie fanatics! Welcome to the second season of AMC's The Walking Dead. New episodes of the horror drama have arrived just in time for Halloween, bringing us the further adventures of lawman Rick Grimes​ and his ragtag crew of survivors. Now reunited with his son, Rick is planning to leave the compromised city of Atlanta to seek shelter at faraway Fort Benning--125 miles away. The journey, as we see in this first extra-long episode, will be treacherous—but it's the only way Rick can keep his family safe.

The season premiere, "What Lies Ahead," follows pretty closely on the heels of last year's season finale: The emotional wounds our heroes experienced at the CDC and following Amy's death are still open and bleeding. Yet they press on, while setbacks claim lives and impede progress.





Atlanta. The city is mostly empty ,  save for the walkers. Rick is on the roof of a building and talking to Morgan via walkie-talkie (Morgan, of course, may or may not actually be listening). "The CDC was a dead end," the sheriff says. "We're moving on." Rick tells Morgan that Dr. Jenner "Told me something, he told me, " and further continues the tease of whatever the Dr. whispered into Rick's ear before fleeing the CDC. Turns out the gang of survivors is heading to Fort Benning -- 125 miles away. The caravan consists of Daryl on a motorcycle and everybody else in a truck and RV. While Rick and Lori reminisce about a past family road trip to the Grand Canyon, Shane helps Andrea put together her gun, which was a gift from her father. The group soon runs into a snag when the entire road is blocked by cars filled with dead bodies. The caravan carefully snakes in and out of traffic when the RV suddenly breaks down.

So the survivors have to stop -- at least momentarily. They decide to take advantage of the situation by scavenging for food and supplies. "This is a graveyard," Lori says. "I don't know how I feel about this." Shane feels great about it, especially after he discovers a truck full of water cooler tanks. He takes an impromptu shower. Rick then notices a walker some miles down the road through the scope on his rifle ,  then another ,  and another ,  and another six dozen. Very quickly but quietly, Rick urges the scavenging survivors to hide under the vehicles as the zombies shuffle past within a few very intense moments.

Unfortunately, T-Dog cuts his arm on a car, causing it to bleed profusely. In the meantime, Andrea is inside the RV and quickly hides in restroom as a zombie wanders inside. She tries desperately to remember how to put her gun together ,  and drops the pieces. Hearing the noise, the zombie bursts into the bathroom. Dale, who's been hiding on the roof of the RV, drops a screwdriver down to Andrea who violently stabs the walker in the eye, killing it. Outside, a walker approaches T-Dog, who is on the verge of losing consciousness. Suddenly, Daryl appears and silently stabs the monster in the brain stem. He then pulls a few corpses over himself and T-Dog until the zombies pass by.

Seemingly safe, Sophia begins climbing out from under a car. Big mistake. A zombie appears and gives chase. She runs into the nearby woods and Rick follows. Two walkers chase Sophia but Rick manages to find her first and pleads with her to hide under a fallen tree in a stream. He tells her that he will draw the zombies away and that she is to run back toward the road once that happens. Rick explains that he can't shoot, or ALL the zombies on the road will hear. Well, the two zombies take the bait and pursue Rick, who hides behind a tree with a giant rock. He gets the best of the walkers, pounding their skulls with the rock when they pass.

Later, Sophia is discovered to have gone missing. Rick, Shane, Daryl, and Glenn find her tracks, which suddenly -- and without reason -- veer left and away from the road. Rick and Daryl press on while Shane and Glenn return to the road to try to calm everybody else. Carl finds a bag of axes and knives and proudly shows them to Shane, who curtly dismisses the boy. When confronted by Lori, he explains that he is going to "quietly slip away first chance I get." No longer can he stay anywhere near Lori. It hurts too much. Back in the woods, Daryl kills a walker with a crossbow. Rick notices that the zombie has flesh in its teeth. But what kind of flesh? Only one way to find out. So Daryl opens up the walker's stomach and pulls out its contents. It's absolutely disgusting, but productive. The zombie has only had a woodchuck for dinner. "At least we know," Rick quips.

Rick and Daryl then return to the road and try to calm Carol, who is near hysterical. "How could you just leave her there to begin with!" Carol cries. Rick explains that leaving Sophia alone was his only option but that they'll have to wait till morning to continue searching. The next morning, Daryl organizes the search party and reluctantly agrees to take along Carl who asserts that he's her friend and can help. Andrea, meanwhile, confronts Dale about the incident at the CDC. "I didn't want your blood on my hands and that's the only reason I left that building," Andrea says. She is angry that Dale did not let her choose death. He is speechless -- hurt and confused. So is Carl, who is once again rebuffed by a sullen Shane. The search party then heads into the woods and comes upon a tent. Inside is the rotting corpse of a man who has committed suicide. Daryl quickly pockets the dead man's gun.

Suddenly, the group hears bells ringing in the distance. They follow the noise to a pristine white church surrounded by a graveyard. Rick and Daryl burst inside to zombies sitting quietly in the church pews. It's incredibly creepy. Rick, Shane, and Daryl then slice and dice the inhabitants. Glenn, in the meantime, discovers that the bells are automated. "They're on a timer," gasps a disappointed Daryl. The group decides to take a breather and Andrea overhears Shane arguing with Lori about leaving. By the end of the conversation, Andrea knows that a) Shane and Lori had a thing and b) that Shane intends to leave without telling anyone. Lori storms inside the church. Afterwards, Shane turns and spots Andrea. He knows that she now knows his big secret.

Inside the church, Carol prays to Jesus that her daughter be returned safe. "Please, Lord, punish me however you want, but show mercy on her," the desperate mother finishes. Outside, Andrea tells Shane that she wants to go with him when he bolts. "All I care about is getting out of here," Andrea says. "I'm not asking you to go steady. I'm asking you for a ride ,  think it over." The group then decides to split up. Rick, Shane, and Carl will stay behind and search around the church. The others will head back to the road. Daryl gives his spare gun -- the dead man's weapon -- to Lori before she departs.

Now it is Rick's turn to pray. He asks for a sign that he is doing the "right thing." "I don't need all the answers ,  any sign will do," he tells the silent Jesus statue. In the meantime, the other survivors stop for a water break on their way back to the road. Lori confronts Andrea about giving her dirty looks because she has a gun, so she offers it up. She then tells Carol and everyone else to stop blaming Rick for what happened to Sophia and all their other troubles. The man isn't perfect, after all. Andrea, seemingly contrite, gives Lori the gun back and they all continue on their way.

Back in the woods, Rick, Carl, and Shane come across a male deer which stops to look at them. Carl approaches the deer curiously while Rick and Shane look on with adoration. Could this be the sign Rick prayed for? Just as Carl gets within arm's reach, a shot rings out. The bullet goes through the deer, killing it, and hits Carl in the chest. Rick screams and runs to his son who lies motionless on the ground.
