Moammar Gadhafi reported captured
CBC News Posted: Oct 20, 2011 7:31 AM ET Last Updated: Oct 20, 2011 8:31 AM ET
Ousted Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi has been captured in his hometown of Sirte, the Reuters news agency reported Thursday, citing a National Transitional Council official.
"He's captured. He's wounded in both legs.…He's been taken away by ambulance," Abdel Majid told Reuters.
The news agency also reported, based on an NTC source, that Gadhafi had died of his wounds.
There were conflicting reports on the details of the capture. One indicated he was captured in a convoy trying to flee Sirte, while another report said he was captured in the city while hiding in a hole.
Reports of Gadhafi's capture came as Sirte, the last pocket of resistance by fighters loyal to him, fell to revolutionary forces.
Following reports of the deposed leader's capture, NTC fighters rejoiced in the streets of Sirte, cheering and stamping on the flag used by the Gadhafi regime.
The White House and the U.S. State Department could not immediately confirm the reports of Gadhafi's capture.
A NATO spokesman said NATO aircraft struck two pro-Gadhafi forces military vehicles Thursday morning. The vehicles were part of a larger convoy moving in the Sirte area, the statement said.
"These armed vehicles were conducting military operations and presented a clear threat to civilians," said Col. Roland Lavoie, a spokesman for the Libya mission. The statement does not provide any detail on whether Gadhafi was in the convoy.

If true, it's about time. Maybe his victims around the world will get justice and closure.

Sorry, it's all over but the cryin'. Everything that happens will give the oil companies another reason to raise fuel costs. They'll spin it their way.
Best you learn how to make bio-diesel, or run your car on farts. :)

However you try to figure it out, don't. It's, as sneer said, all about the sweet oil.
My Patti and I were talking about that last night amidst candles and hot oil....Ooops.
Sorry. Too much info there. lol

So the tyrant has gone, some say he should not have been killed, and brought to justice, in a sense i agree, as we would have liked to have got more info on the Pan Am lockerbie bombing, however i doubt he would have given details, so perhaps in the long run it is better the way it is....... the world has changed and is becoming unsafe wherever you travel, but i guess that's life and it is the world we live in, can you recall who was one of the first to fall from grace, not to many years ago....Idi Amin.....let us live life to the fullest, and enjoy the freedom we have today. and yes we thank a Vet.....................W/H

Unfortunately despot tyrants like Gadhafi, Hussein and many others that were front men for big oil and big money and needless to say Big Government (U.S.) cannot be allowed a trial, the things they would say about who got them into power and and at what conditions would destroy a lot of myths the average citizen believes..
Hussein was about to reveal his back door deals with Rumsfeld and Papa Bush and the american oil industry if he was brought to trial.. Thats why he was executed arounf Christmas by a kangaroo court.. Dead Men dont talk..
Dont expect oil prices to fall either..
