Jurucakap NTC, Jamal abu-Shaalah yang juga komander operasi menangkap Gaddafi berkata, semasa ditawan, Gaddafi merayu supaya tidak ditembak kerana kedua-dua kakinya cedera teruk semasa pertempuran. 

Satu lagi laporan menyebut bahawa Gaddafi bersembunyi di dalam lubang bawah tanah setelah cuba melarikan diri menggunakan lebuh raya menuju ke sempadan Tunisia. 

Jurucakap NTC yang berada di Sirte, Abdel Majid berkata Gaddafi dikejarkan ke hospital menggunakan sebuah ambulans. 

Majed juga menyebut semasa pertempuran tersebut, ketua turus tentera Gaddafi, Abu Bakr Younus Jabr terbunuh berhampiran dengan tempat di mana Gaddafi ditawan. 

Agensi berita Reuters turut mengesahkan bahawa Gaddafi terbunuh, sebentar tadi. 

JALAN PULANG 

(Reuters) - Former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi died of wounds suffered in his capture near his hometown of Sirte on Thursday, a senior NTC military official said.

National Transitional Council official Abdel Majid Mlegta told Reuters earlier that Gaddafi was captured and wounded in both legs at dawn on Thursday as he tried to flee in a convoy which NATO warplanes attacked. 

"He was also hit in his head," the official said. "There was a lot of firing against his group and he died." 

There was no independent confirmation of his remarks. 

"He (Gaddafi) was also hit in his head," National Transitional Council official Abdel Majid Mlegta told Reuters. "There was a lot of firing against his group and he died." 

Mlegta told Reuters earlier that Gaddafi, who was in his late 60s, was captured and wounded in both legs at dawn on Thursday as he tried to flee in a convoy which NATO warplanes attacked. He said he had been taken away by an ambulance. 

An anti-Gaddafi fighter said Gaddafi had been found hiding in a hole in the ground and had said "Don't shoot, don't shoot" to the men who grabbed him. 

His capture followed within minutes of the fall of Sirte, a development that extinguished the last significant resistance by forces loyal to the deposed leader. 

The capture of Sirte and the death of Gaddafi means Libya's ruling NTC should now begin the task of forging a new democratic system which it had said it would get under way after the city, built as a showpiece for Gaddafi's rule, had fallen.
