Was this Gaddafi's grisly end? Picture claimed to be Libyan dictator after he was killed when rebels finally captured his last stronghold

Slumped against the bloodied legs of a revolutionary fighter, this is the picture which Libyan rebels say confirms that deposed leader Muammar Gaddafi has been killed.

The former Libyan dictator was reportedly found cowering in a hole in the ground at the centre of Sirte, after rebels moved through the seaside town during their final assault.

Fighter Mohammed Al Bibi told reporters that the toppled tyrant had pleaded 'Don't shoot, don't shoot' as he attempted to surrender.

There were multiple reports in the Arab press that he died after suffering wounds to the legs.

Would you advocate for doing this to death row inmates? If you’re for it, might as well go all in, no?

I would do it the way the Japanese do it.....carry out the execution, bury the body in the prison yard, and then quietly announce the execution a month after the fact.

I know that, but I we're supposed to be more civilized in 2011. I realize we're talking about Libya, my comment is just MHO.

Ron Paul is most likely distraught by this news also.

So how come we can get proof of the deaths of Saddam Hussein, his sons, Kaddaffi, and many other dictators, but not Osama bin Laden? Does everyone realize we have NO proof of bin Laden’s death, only the Obama administration’s word for it?

I'll bet it does wonders to adjust the attitudes of the other inmates. That, I'd go for. Weekend at Bernies, not so much.

Looks like him.

What is repulsive is that there isn’t one woman in the celebration.

These whackjobs will turn on us one of these days.

I guess Obama will take credit for this too?

Take credit? Heck, I thought he'd be in mourning.

Gadhafi outlived his usefulness, he now realizes his replacements will bring the Caliphate even closer than Gadhafi ever could.

I can’t tell if it’s him or not without the pimp clothes.

Given that unlike the other Arab Spring targets he actually put up a helluva fight for an old man I doubt he died quivering for mercy
What would we expect the winners to say?
Expect these clowns to be as bad as him with Islamic jihad thrown in for good measure

Totally off topic and please forgive, but I am relatively new here and have no clue how to post a photo.

If someone does not mind taking the time, please let me know how this is done. I love this site and would like to know how.

Thanks to all of you for welcoming so warmly. I feel like my brain is at home at the Free Republic.

I always wait for confirmation from definitive sources in these circumstances:

He, Colonel Khaddafy, is dead as a duck no doubt about it.

I have seen just now, the very graphic clear footage on Al Jazeera of the dictator's lifeless corpse in a vehicle with that rebels pointing out his head wounds, etc. I doubt it was a Nato strike considering the overall condition of the body (pristine) except for the specific head wounds, probably at close range. Perhaps it is true that NATO stopped their entourage, but for sure (if he went to ground) then he was offed at close range by ground troops of the opposition.
