IS GADDAFI IS KILLED.

Libya's National Transitional Council claim to have captured and killed Colonel Gaddafi in the town of Sirte.

Reuters news agency reports that the country's former leader has died as a result of wounds suffered during his capture.
The news agency originally reported that Gaddafi was captured but was still alive.
"He's captured. He's wounded in both legs ... He's been taken away by ambulance," the senior NTC military official Abdel Majid told Reuters by telephone. However this was later updated, saying that he had died of his wounds.
It is thought Gaddafi was trying to flee in a convoy that was attacked by NATO when he was captured by the NTC.
Majid told Reuters that the head of Gaddafi's armed forces Abu Bakr Younus Jabr was also killed during the capture of the Libyan ex-leader who was apparantly wearing a khaki uniform and wearing a turban.
Majid added that NATO warplanes struck the convoy and hit four cars as it headed west and that Ahmed Ibrahim, a cousin and adviser of Gaddafi, was also captured.
A conflicting report from an NTC fighter claims that Gaddafi was found hiding in a hole in Sirte, shouting "don't shoot, don't shoot".

In the capital Tripoli, sounds of gun shots were heard and people cheered in the street: "God is Great, God is Great, Gaddafi has been captured."
Prime Minister David Cameron is expected to make a statement shortly while the US state department says it cannot confirm media reports of Gaddafi's capture or death.
