Initial reports from CNN and the revolutionary council said Gaddafi was in custody, while Al Jazeera reported that a big fish had been caught but did not provide a name. Sky News reported that Gaddafi had been wounded in both legs prior to his capture. A military official told Reuters via telephone: 'He's captured. He's wounded in both legs ... He's been taken away by ambulance.

Heard this before...
He’s dead.
Unlike on other occasions when Obama keeps everybody cooling their heels, Obama will will be early to receive his due praise.
Gaddafi will be sent to Scotland, and then freed.
Wouldn’t be surprised if he came off with a Bushism, “We got him”.
Reuters) - Former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi died of wounds suffered in his capture near his hometown of Sirte on Thursday, a senior NTC military official said.
National Transitional Council official Abdel Majid Mlegta told Reuters earlier that Gaddafi was captured and wounded in both legs at dawn on Thursday as he tried to flee in a convoy which NATO warplanes attacked.
“He was also hit in his head,” the official said. “There was a lot of firing against his group and he died.”
There was no independent confirmation of his remarks.
He was also hit in his head, the official said.
I wonder if this was at point blank range?
“O” never made vigorous enough statements AGAINST either al Qiada or Osama (NOT for my money)... yet when our military took him out, “O” shamelessly stepped up to the plate and basked in the glow of having caught public enemy #1!!!! Our President is a punk
I’m sure he just accidentally ‘jumped’ in front of the bullet.
I have just seen a video of Gaddafi laying in the street in home town of Sirte.
Well that depends, has he gotten his teleprompter back?
Otherwise it may be more like this, “Well uh look I did it. Uh look whatever uh uh it is”
GW Bush had the troops hand over Saddam for trial by his own people. Obama assasinates and has a body dump. Something smells.
Obama to Press: “Well...it seems we’ve made a mistake. I apologize to all the kids out there, but it seems that we took out Daffy Duck. But if you look at it this way, Mr. Duck was just a part of that capitalist system which we hate. We weren’t kidding when we backed OWS. We will continue to go after Quadaffi. Thank You.
More like: “Leading from behind really works!”
I think that’s a Barney Frankism.
Other reports say that Gadaffi was murdered.Now they are realizing what the Bedou will do, they are backing off the truth?

Gadaffi is dead according to the Daily Mail, and the traditional capture / ransom scenario has not been followed, so the whole Bedou tribe is about to rise in a war which will last for generations.
Its a very bad scene. And this article appeares to be spin.
Well, it looks as if the end that some of have been following fairly closely has finally come.
Now that he is gone as appears likely the rush will intensify to find the missing $billions. A few weeks ago there were reports he had asked banks in England and NY to transfer his funds/gold to Venezuela. Anyone know if this happened?
