Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya TV showed footage of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi alive at the time of his capture.

The video which Ahram Online lists here first appeared on the Libyan television station, Assomud.

Unknown men are seen in the footage dragging an apparently wounded Gaddafi at the time of his capture in the city of Sirte, as they scream in jubilation and shout "Allah Akbar".

Al Arabiya has also posted an image of an18 year old man who claimed he finished off Gaddafi earlier Thursday on its website.

Seif al-Islam and Mu'tassim have also been reported to have been killed as reported by Al Arabiya channel.

The NTC has declared the full liberation of Sirte, the birthplace of Gaddafi.

Meanwhile, Libya's Interim NTC chairman, Moustafa Abdel Jalil is expected to hold a press conference late Thursday or early Friday to officially declare the "liberation" of the country, Reuters reported.

Perhaps a nation raped can never fully recover until the offender one day finally finds himself raped metaphorically speaking, time will tell where these people who have a history of being raped by colonial states, kings and dictators will ultimately find themselves.... http://scallywagandvagabond.com/2011/10/libyas-colonel-gaddafi-dragged-from-a-drain-begging-for-his-life-and-then-executed-in-front-of-a-braying-mob/
