Al Jazeera's Tony Birtley reports from Sirte on Gaddafi's capture

  • 12 years ago
Muammar Gaddafi's 42-year reign in Libya ended in District 2 of his hometown, Sirte.

In an area where all of the buildings are riddled with bullet holes, the toppled Libyan leader tried to flee when confronted by NTC fighters, but was soon pinned to the ground and nearly stripped naked before reportedly dying in a convoy on the way to Misrata.
