The former leader had been in hiding since rebel fighters toppled the capital city of Tripoli. His death, which came shortly after he was driven away in a truck by opposition forces, has been the subject of much debate. A coroner's report found that he was killed by a bullet to the head, which officials in Libya's transitional government initially claimed was the result of crossfire between revolutionaries and loyalists as Qaddafi was being driven to a hospital.

The man was captured in a storm drain, beaten and shot, apparently sodomized, paraded briefly before his captors and probably brought to a small unit commander of some respect before his final execution. Such is the death of dictators since ancient times, though a lot of Roman emperors would have gladly traded their deaths for his. I can't say I feel sorry for him. Morally his execution was wrong and has no place in modern times, but a dictator who ruled over what used to be Carthage would be well served to have studied history better. Assad and Kim Jong Il are taking notes.
