Muammar Gaddafi’s body lay in an old meat store on Friday as arguments over a burial, and his killing after being captured, dogged efforts by Libya’s new leaders to make a formal start on a new era of democracy.
With a bullet wound visible through the familiar curly hair, the corpse shown to Reuters in Misrata bore other marks of the violent end to a violent life, still being broadcast to the world on looping snatches of grainy, gory cellphone video.

From living a life of luxury to ending up in a meat locker? Wow that’s a hell of a stretch.
stop stop stop every one,take a deep breath you feel better now,good!! to the people who dont think learn to listen its the 21 century no more dictatorship so dominica open your eye its time to move to the positive side of life.
America is all about the media and it is time to bring forth all the evidence of his death. That is the only way to really prove his death and their triumph.
One minute NATO are trying to protect civilians next minute they’re assisting ‘rebels’ overthrow a government in a civil war.
Now wait and watch all those European and US companies come in and establish themselves in the ruins of Libya.
It’s all about the oil. I am not a fan of Qadaffi but the what the west did was wrong. Why can’t NATO go after all the dictators… Oh guess there is no oil..
Yeap! So did the opportunists who left the DFP and UWP after death of 2 DLP P.Ms.They pararsited and continue to profit from the long hard struggles moreso of Pierre charles and have become filfy rich piggybacking on the sacrifices of others.
Ghaddafi was not one of the nicest of guys, but during his reign he certainly did bring up Libya’s standard of living. In fact, Libyans had a higher standard of living than Algerians and Moroccans if one is comparing North African countries rich in oil.
It may be deduced then that because he was heading to price African resources in gold dinars which would be a threat to the US economy (hegemony) because most traded resources are priced in US dollars, that he was a threat.
It may also be deduced that his death will prevent any embarrassment to high ranking UK government and US banking officials into the “Lockerbie” swaps (BP contracts and other economic deals).
It may lastly, but not in the least way be deduced that because Europe has a southern immigration problem, and since Ghaddafi was a major gatekeeper who threatened to release tons of refugees if he didn’t get his way occasionally, that this was a major future destabilizer for Europe so he had to be removed (note the particular dislike for blacks among NTC fighters – It runs deeper than just a Libyan immigration issue).
That being said, the death of the Colonel (if not a stunt double – Ghaddafi had billions so the expense of plastic surgery was nothing – a complete DNA test will prove) was horrific, but now that it’s over I wish the people of Libya well, and blessing in the reconstruction of their country.
Well maybe those DNA tests have been negative and they are awaiting experts to decide on how to proceed..
SADDAM gone OSAMA gone GADDAFI gone dictators take note who next
And who to lead countries that were better off with their leaders. I guess you look to put more control into America and the lodge.
Asad of Syria,Chavez of venezuela( he already looking enroute) The caribbean has a few indirect ones: indirect because they have not yet began to ( like they say-take out their opponents physically.) YET
They know who they are.Some already expressing they are not safe these days and are asking for security.Is that a prelude to take out a few people?
Just asking.
Obama
I am suspicious that this man may have been executed and if this is the case it was VERY wrong. He was captured and very much alive in one video and the next he’s dead! This is rather unfortunate and I think it is absolutely wrong for people to act so calously in taking matters in their own hands. I know how some of you feel about Gadafi however justice dictates that he should have a fair trial and we must ALWAYS remember that “TWO WRONGS DOES NOT MAKE A RIGHT”!
@Anti-hate!! Ding Dong the dictator is dead!! Go resurrect him if all you can!! As your stupid conspiracy Chavez influenced theory go bury it with Gaddafi!! This is the ultimate demise of all dictators and terrorists. There is not place for them in the 21 st century world.. Asad Next!WE Cleaning out the swamp!
Who is WE???? Do you know that Muhbarak was propped up by the US? He was thrown out by his people for being a US puppet. It wasn’t NATO (America) that wanted Muhbarak out, they installed him!! You are so ignorant of world news its not even close to funny!!!
Bin Ali in Tunisia was aligned with the French (NATO). They didnt want him out, he was removed by his people..
Gadhafi is the only dictator so far in the Arab Spring who wasn’t ousted by a majority uprising but by a bombing campaign by the NATO oil thieves. Not coincidentally, he is the only one ousted so far who wasn’t a Western NATO puppet.
NATO only bombed the dictator who stood up to them. Educate and inform yourself you simple-minded, ignorant, brainwashed sheep!!!
Aunty hate.. Thought you would have gone to this wicked/mad/despotic/criminal mans assistance.Start being a man and stand on the side of humanity.This man was a villain to his own people. He slaughtered thousands of them.
With only one exception Liberated Libyan, we cleaning house could mean this..http://www.npr.org/2011/10/20/141549384/blacks-and-migrants-targets-of-attack-in-libya
Western news said he is dead is that not true? I think the way you refer to some natives of Dominica is more applicable to you. Irrespective of what the western news reports or how western policies are manifested to serve their interest, there can be absolutely no doubt about the character of Muhammar Khadaffi. Didn’t he claim responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing where hundreds of innocent people lost their lives? Didn’t he live a lavish lifestyle at the expense of the majority who are poor in Libya? Didn’t he execute his own people when they opposed him even before the most recent uprising that ousted him? The rebels who overthrew him were they not Libyan citizens themselves? Did the rebels have to depend on western news to know what was going on in Libya? I’m pretty sure they did not. Do you know of Al Jahzeera news? The Libyan saw for themselves firsthand what kind of leader Khadaffi was and they finally had had enough. Granted they may have been assisted by the self serving west but that doesn’t take away from all the atrocities that Khadaffi committed. I’m sure you may be saying that the west was who referred to the rebels as “RATS” and said they should be killed. You people in your arrogant bid to continue supporting so-called leaders who supported Khadafi will stop at nothing to make fools of yourselves by mixing apples with oranges. Truth is the west did not make Khadaffi who he was, it was of his own doing and so blaming the western media is just plain idiotic and hypocritical. Ever heard of “live by the sword die by the sword?” or “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall”
i agree the stock market is an evil machine using the finances of many to fuel the greed and wealth of a few
Everyone sad that the guy got killed, but at the end of the day you live by the gun you die by the gun. 1000s of people who seen misery and death by his rule/regime but we crying for him. People get a life, dominica not far!
america,france & the rest you all will pay TIME WILL TELL you all were the ones who helped the rebles to fight gaddafi
ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT THAT COMMENT. You can always ask DNO to edit it for you because you made a mistake while typing….. One one questions, would you like to experience what the people of Lybia experienced for 42 years….good… so shut your mouth when you do not have a clue of what you’re saying….I would recommend you think, read and listen for yourself and not just follow the direction of a leader who is heading the same way and you are too close minded to realize.
I am not into politics, just looking out for Dominica and Dominicans.
How many of Gaddafi’s doubles did they actually kill ?

ANALYSING ‘GADDAFI’S KILLED’ VIDEOS:
1. On the videos which were allegedly recorded in Sirte, sun is shining, dust everywhere.. however ,in reality,just a day before -Sirte was FLOODED.
2. In two different parts of the same video..we can see that the ‘Colonel’ has two different hair colors.. in one part he has light-brown hair, in the other he has black hair.
3. In one of the videos ‘dead Colonel’ has bumpy nose, looks broken in a strange way, in other videos where this man is dead, his nose is straight
4. In the early videos (from Sirte) his face looks very young, and we all know how wrinkled he was.
5. They said that he was shot in the legs, and that he bled to death.. but this captured ‘Colonel’ is standing while they are pushing him around. In addition, lower part of the body is not covered with blood.
6. Naked uper part of body of the ‘Colonel’ is young, with no signs of aging in the videos, but real Colonel is a 70 years old man. Do you know how the body of a 70 years old man looks like, especialy of a man who have spent all his life in a desert.
7. Some of the released videos were recorded a day before, on 19th of october (!!)
8. According to one of their propaganda stories, they found ‘him’ in a sewer. And yet ‘he’ appears freshly shaven, his beard trimmed on the videos etc..
9. There is another strange detail in the video in Sirte also, one black woman- a civilian- stands and watches the show , seeming very relaxed. A black civilian woman in Sirte on the side of the rats (!?). This is impossible. Everyone knows what NATO Al Qaeda rats are doing to black men, women and children in Libya. They hang, lynch and behead them. Especialy Sirte black women, IF there are ANY left in Sirte (which I highly doubt) would never be on the side of the racist rats. This is realy strange.
10. On one video Gaddafi is covered with blood when they are placing him on a pick-up, on another with the same ‘action’ his face is clean like he is headed to a wedding.
11. Fact: Massive demonstrations against NATO and NTC were being prepared, unified counter-attack, uprising has already started on 14th of october.
12. Just days after Hilary came and said she wants Gaddafi dead, ‘he’ got killed.
13. Not just him, his sons and every high-official person they could remember of ‘got killed on the same day IN SIRTE’, although it is known that Gaddafi and his sons were leading different brigades at different fronts around Libya. (note: Libya is the size of 1/3 of Europe, and Sirte is just one small town which was for months under siege)
14. Gaddafi’s daughter Aisha says he is alive.
15. Gaddafi has 12 doubles.
QUESTION: HOW MANY OF GADDAFI’S DOUBLES DID THEY ACTUALY KILL?

Do you work for the government like our good frien who works at GIS. You must be a dumbass to be saying what you’re saying. that is what dictators do the make people believe evrything is nice and dandy. Gadhafi was being bombed left right and center and was tell his followers he was winning and they should keep fighting…..sadly enough, alot of them lost there lives.
I am not into politics, just looking out for Dominica and Dominicans.
Thanks for the analysis. Gaddafi is very much alive. The controlled manipulated media wants people to believe that he is dead for their own puposes, just like Osama and Saddam.
Hahahhahahahahhahaha!! Zort Domnichien Zort par feb. Yeah Gaddafi is still alive wait for the bank and the hotel, they coming!! hahahahahahahah!
It was never said he was shot in his legs. According to reports he was shot in the stomach and later the head
He will not only be remembered as being an anticolonist and anti imperalist but also as being Mad and as a ruthless dictator who promised to kill his own like rats.
He could have shared his vision and his desires and have a succession plan among his own but for 42 years he ruled and not one man jack oppose.
Those who lived by the sword shall die by the sword///////
Correct. That’s why england, france, america etc. has theirs coming. their hypocrisy will be duly exposed.
It was alright for the insurgents to kill, but not all right for Gaddafi supporters to fight back.
Well so yet again we see a problem created by the West to exploit Africa. The Italians created Libya in 1930. Gaddafi built Libya and tried to unite Africa,he was eccentric,but those he killed wanted to kill him,so who was wrong and who was right.
Now we wait and see. As Europe fight over the spoils of war.
gaddafi and his people are arabs,how could arabs try to unite africans,when they were the first ones to enslave black people,selasie tried to unite africa,up till now you all are still rejecting his godly manifestation,but you defending gaddafi a arab with oil power,that is really give us barrabas and crucify christ,you see the same whip that beat the black dog,is the same whip that beat the white dog,they sell black people to white people,but they didn’t see that the white man teeth is was yellow with greed.
There isn’t a race that hasn’t undergone enslavement sometime in history.
@only or lonely who ever you are,i do not care about your statement concerning all races that has undergone enslavement,but i can assure you whatever race that has enslaved the other,will get a pay back somehow,as long as there is a living god,you see how our daughters are hoes and our sons are drug dealers and robbers,this is what the after effects of slavery has left us with,left us with the islands underdeveloped,our culture changed,language changed,right now everybody like crabs,we fighting to get rich to live in the white mans system,we out there in these carribean islands,some of our people going crazy,some on the road begging,is slavery do that,life is a circle somebody got to pay for that,you see everybody talking about the jews,they have returned to their lands,or so they say,but know body talking about our people, we still in this dammed carribean islands,but it is alright you know defend all who you all want to defend,some of us wait and depend on gods justice, amen.
Look on the map and see where Libya is.. North Africa… So what you are you saying. Any country on the African Continent makes the inhabitants inevitably Africans.
sorry to burst your bubble,these arabs are invaders from the north, they are not africans,do your historical research,read the book called the great pyramid.
MIND ALLU OWN BUSINESS SEE WHATS GOING ON IN ALLU COUNTRY. ALL BAD MAN DAY AH FI COME
HERE ARE TWO EXERTS FROM THE BLOGGERS TO THE REUTERS SITE ON THE REPORT WHICH I LIKE:
“Libya has Africa’s largest very clean oil and gas reserves, and the largest underground water resources in Africa that Gadhafi was developing for African drinking water and agriculture purposes (mad as he was he also had great ideas), all of which will now be privatized by Europeans and Americans and sold for their stock holders; soon may be called economic colonialism.
As well, Gadhafi refused to allow Libya to go into debt — IMF, World Bank, Corporations. No other nation has done that. Not even the international Occupy Movement can do that, despite its desire to do so.
Eventually, despite his madness and cruel and murderous violence, Gadhafi will be hailed as an anti-colonial and anti-corporate hero.”
AND:
“Libya eyes future…haha is this sort of ill-contrieved joke haha now the plunder will start and the struggle for power..the privatisation and the selling of Libya on pieces…the exploitation from western wellwishers in other worlds the modern colonization :)))”
NUFF SAID!!!!!
Yup yup,
reading the comments on yahoo news is what really opened my eyes to the truth about Libya. I don’t even blame people for buying the propaganda anymore. People are just really naive about how biased the Western media is and how they spin the news to suit their agendas.
I guess Al Jazheera spins too
Thats the world we live in my friend.
Sometimes when you jump out the frying pan you jump into the fire. Time will tell, lets just wait and see..
Good points.
AMERICANS ARE KILLING OR TRYING TO KILL ALL LEADERS WHO ARE HELPING POOR COUNTRIES THE US ALWAYS AIM TO RULE AND CONTROL.THE FORMER LYBIAN LEADER,S BLOOD IS ON THEIR HANDS.WE SEE THE SAME REBEL FIGHTERS ABUSE OF BLACK PEOPLE IN LYBIA TIME WILL TELL WHAT CAN DOMINICA GAIN FROM THIS NEW HUNGRY GOVERNMENT ALL U U.W.P SUPPORTERS WHO ARE REJOYCING RIP GHADAFI U PROMISED TO FIGHT TO THE END THE STRUGLE CONTINUES COMRAD
America! America! America, continue to allow Chavez to draw all you stupid fools into conflict with America and NATO. All you good! There is no where for dictators to hide in this 21 st century world. The era of dictators are over, the citizens will rise up and when the dictators open fire on them, America and NATO will be right there to help them. Eat your hearts out parasites, go and get work for all you to do and stop depending on despots charity for all you to survive.. America and NATO, continues to rule the skies like it or not!!!
You are a jack-*ss!!!!! You said “hen the dictators open fire on them, America and NATO will be right there to help them”
RIGHT NOW in Yemen, America is bombing the citizens trying to overthrow their dictator!!!! Claiming that they are Al Qaeda militants. Syria has been killing people for months. Where is NATO? Saudi Arabia put down their uprising of quickly and brutally. Where was NATO? Saudi Arabia sent troops to Bahrain to help them put down protests against their dictator. Where was NATO????
You idiot, NATO only supports the overthrow of dictators who refuse to be their puppets.
americans did not kill him
Ignore the sheep who are thumbs-downing. you are right
Are you serious. that is exactly what dictators do, they sgive handout to the poor people of the country, much like Mr.Skeritt is doing here. When they do so,they believe people will have a soft spot for them in their heart and inturn help them stay in power. Do you know why mister skerrit said he wil be leader for 20 plus years. Ask yourself a questions. I do not know you or what you do, but I can clearly see you do not read or listen to anything foryourself and only go by what people plant in your head. Stop being a jackass and get your own onfo. Why did’nt you blame the french and english? you jumped directly to the chest of the USA. Is there some war or problem between Dominica and the USA. Directly or indurectly the USA is putting food and a number of Dominicans plate and that is the thanks you people give them. No one is saying everything they do they are right but o not blame them for things others did or helped onn doing. Do you know where most of Ross university students come from, do you know where 90% of the cruise ship which dock here comes from. If you don’t please go read and do some research and stop being a jackass.
People claim Khadaffi was a good man because he gave to the poor. Pablo Escobar was well liked he gave to the poor, Sadam Hussein gave to the poor, Christopher “Dudus” Coke gave to the poor, Chavez give to the poor, all of these guys were/are all well liked. This is the strategy of these ruthless men, embrace some of the vulnerable poor folks to satisfy their own ego. Their aim is to have people be loyal to them by pretending to be most generous. Remember the 70 plus people who died trying to defend Coke? Why were they willing to risk their lives? It was all about being loyal for favors and hands out they received. Just remember one thing “even the devil have defenders” so its no surprise that some folks are on here defending Khadaffi by highlighting some of the things he did to boost his own selfish ego and image while turning a blind eye to the atrocities perpetrated by thiis ruthless thugs
Dictators normally go via this route..He lived a brutal life, and he died a brutal death.A LESSON FOR OTHER DICTATORS.
I agree with you. THOSE WHO LIVE BY GUNS WILL DIE BY GUNS AMEN.
the closest way to a mans heart is his belly feed a man and u will get an army
