Moammar Gadhafi is dead :: NBCNews Special Report :: October 20, 2011 - NBC NEWS

Deposed Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi has died of wounds suffered in his capture near his hometown of Sirte, according to a senior National Transitional Council military official and a government minister.

"He was killed in an attack by the fighters. There is footage of that," the NTC's information minister, Mahmoud Shammam, told Reuters.
The military official, Abdel Majid Mlegta, told Reuters that Gadhafi was taken at dawn on Thursday as he tried to flee in a convoy that NATO warplanes had attacked.
"There was a lot of firing against his group and he died," said Mlegta.
Western powers, who have backed the rebellion which took the capital Tripoli two months ago, said they were still checking into the reports. NATO said its aircraft fired on a convoy near Sirte earlier, but would not confirm reports that Gadhafi had been a passenger.
