Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi has been killed tragically in his hometown, Sirte, as the government forces overrun home town of Sirte. Muammar Gaddafi’s dead marks an end to the eight-month uprising in Libya.
Reportedly, the convoy in which Gaddafi might have been traveling to Sirte was hit by the Nato airstrikes. The aircrafts dropped bombs to the vehicles. Later, Gadhafi, who brutally ruled Libya for 42 years, was captured in a concrete tunnel in the town. Muammar Gaddafi was shot by Nato air strike on a convoy fleeing Sirte and firefights on the ground like a “dog in the street” in his last bastion of resistance in his hometown of Sirte. The Libyan dictator was also alive when fighters waved guns, threw him on to the bonnet of a jeep. A shocking video footage shows off that 69-year-old tyrant was shot moments after he pleaded 'Don't shoot, don't shoot!' to the group of rebel fighters.
