Gadhafi Alive in Hands of Fighters before Death: Video
A bloodied Moammar Gadhafi was seen alive and walking as he was being manhandled by Libya's new regime fighters before the announcement of his death Thursday, in a videotape aired on Arab satellite channels.
National Transitional Council fighters circled the 69-year-old ousted strongman, who was bloodied in the head, face and shoulders, as he apparently tried to cry out.
One fighter appeared to hold a gun to his head but it was unclear if he fired before Gadhafi was hauled onto the front of a vehicle, amid chaotic scenes in the video broadcast on Al-Arabiya and Al-Jazeera television channels.
Gadhafi was killed when new regime forces launched a final assault on the last pocket of resistance in his hometown Sirte, NTC spokesman Abdul Hafez Ghoga said earlier.
"We announce to the world that Gadhafi has died in the custody of the revolution," he said.
