mystery surrounding his death in captivity has sparked international calls for an investigation where the official account that he was killed and a crossfire widely questioned levy is now looking to hold elections within eight months but as artie's at least now reports from tripoli there's much cynicism over whether things will change post could offer. not so long ago with handshakes and hugs now it's his head. and his family and a lot of tales to tell about foreign involvements and fact that though he was always portrayed as a great devil he also played a lot of footsie and panky with the western powers. graphic gruesome footage of get down he went viral as news of his death spread after months of being number one nato hit list under the banner humanitarian mission oh we came we saw he died. have anything to do with your visit.

and he's seeing claims he was killed in crossfire but edited video begs to differ that's shown here clearly wiping one from his head then nearly dead it's a good look at those movies and the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and wounded and after that he was killed. all the pressure is growing for an investigation for find out if he's down from died as clinton put it or was executed the u.n. human rights organization should all push not only for investigation of the death of gadhafi and certainly the lynching of many of the libyan members of the. that supported. but also the bombings that they thought inflicted in libya that destroyed so many of the b. as infrastructure and also so many libyan civilians who died in the u.s. who were killed in those three alliance officials claim the mission in libya is
