went viral as the news of his death spread after months of being number one nato it must come to the banner humanitarian mission. we came we saw the guy. with you and the claims he was killed in crossfire i didn't really you know begs to differ so clearly wiping one from his leg then the league that took a look at them with the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and wounded and also that he was killed. so the pressure is growing for an investigation find out if it's down from the guy as clinton put it or was executed the u.n. human rights organization should all push not only for investigation. and certainly the. many other libyan members of the. that
