Former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has been killed after fighters battling to complete an eight-month-old uprising against his rule overran his hometown Sirte

An anti-Gaddafi fighter said Gaddafi had been found hiding in a hole in the ground and had said “Don’t shoot, don’t shoot” to the men who grabbed him. He was captured and severely wounded, which caused his death moments later.

We are awaiting more information
