There were conflicting reports about whether Khamis Gadhafi was captured alive but gravely wounded after a gunbattle in Bani Walid, a pro-Gadhafi stronghold where fighting has raged for three days. And Khamis Gadhafi has been reported killed several times, including in an August 2011 NATO airstrike. [url=http://english.alarabiya.net/articles/2012/10/20/244947.html]Al Arabiya news agency reported[/url] that sources told it Khamis Gadhafi was severely wounded and arrested but that he later died. However, Al Arabiya also said, Mohamed al-Magarief, the head of Libya’s democratically elected General National Congress, told the agency the late dictator's son was killed during the clashes. A Libyan journalist told NBC News that Khamis Gadhafi was captured while fleeing in a convoy. His right leg had been amputated, but it was not clear if that was a result of recent fighting or a previous injury. Dr. Mustafa Abushagur, sacked as Libya’s prime minister last week, tweeted Saturday that Khamis Gadhafi’s body was taken to a Misrata hospital, the [url=http://rt.com/news/khamis-gaddafi-libya-captured-874/]Russian Times reported[/url] reported. The [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/oct/20/khamis-gaddafi-killed-bani-walid-muammar]Guardian of London reported[/url] that a statement by the Libyan national congress spokesman, Omar Hamdan, said the 28-year-old was killed "in battle" but gave no further details. The reports came after heavy fighting between the pro-Gadhafi garrison in Bani Walid and militias allied to the Libyan government. The seventh son of Col. Moammar Gadhafi, Khamis Gadhafi is known as one of the most hardline of Gadhafi's sons. His reported death prompted wild celebrations in Misrata, Libya's third city, where fireworks and car horns filled the night, the Russian Times reported. He was reviled there for atrocities allegedly perpetrated by the 32nd Brigade, a special unit he formed after studying in a Russian military academy, the Russian Times said.[/quote] [url=http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/10/20/14584931-gadhafis-youngest-son-reported-killed-amid-libya-clashes?lite]Source[/url]
Perhaps supporting his late father when clearly the people rose up against him with the sole purpose of getting rid of him was not the best course of action for him. edit: Not to mention this guy was not a good example of a human being.

Why is this being rated friendly?
[QUOTE=UnknownDude;38127624]Why is this being rated friendly?[/QUOTE] Because a human died?
[QUOTE=UnknownDude;38127624]Why is this being rated friendly?[/QUOTE] Someone died. This isn't really a good thing, although I wouldn't classify it as a bad thing either. Really, I think it should be a somber reminder that Libya is not yet free. There is still quite a bit of fighting going on.
I didn't post this because there is a lot (a [i]lot[/i]) of confusion about whether he is really dead, and this is like the 8th time he's supposedly died [editline]21st October 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=galenmarek;38121935]Perhaps supporting his late father when clearly the people rose up against him with the sole purpose of getting rid of him was not the best course of action for him. edit: Not to mention this guy was not a good example of a human being.[/QUOTE] He commanded the 32nd Brigade, AKA the Khamis Brigade which became known during the war as one of the most ruthless and feared units in the Libyan Army. He was kind of a massive dick. Khamis Brigade killed [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Hetherington]Tim Hetherington[/url] too
I miss Gaddafi, I was hoping to be able to laugh at his melted face while he was on trial at the Hague.
