Pravda: The Mystery of Muammar Gaddafi's Death?

The so-called National Transitional Council of Libya delivered the official report of the death of Muammar Gaddafi. The new Prime Minister, Mahmoud Jibril said in the beginning of the news conference in Tripoli that the NTC had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Gaddafi is dead, Jibril said. According to Jibril, the colonel received lethal wounds in the shootout between his forces and the opposition "army" in the city of Sirte, Reuters said. Gaddafi supposedly died from the bullets of his followers, the news agency said. A forensic report found it difficult to say whether the colonel was killed by revolutionaries or his own soldiers. The new prime minister said Gaddafi was shot in the head. Jibril confirmed the information, saying that the colonel had been taken prisoner alive. However, he suffered a lethal wound and died before he was taken to a hospital. Supposedly, when the battles in Sirte became too intense, Gaddafi decided to leave the city and hide in the desert. On Thursday morning, the colonel departed from the city in a convoy of vehicles. NATO's unmanned aircraft detected Gaddafi's vehicles and attacked them. Afterwards, the colonel's supporters tried to hide him in a drainpipe. Officials of the National Transitional Council of Libya, otherwise known as "the rats", took him out of the pipe and allegedly tried to take him to a safer location. The vehicle in which they were traveling, found itself in the shootout between the colonel's followers and adversaries. Apparently, Gaddafi was killed instantly. There was no special order to liquidate him.
