According to reports, Gaddafi was found alive and he has begged for his life after being captured by the opposing forces. It is not clear in what way he was executed, there are reports which say he was killed in crossfire while more authenticity is given to the capturing and killing of Gaddafi. Regardless of how he was killed, the fact is that Muammar Gaddafi is dead.
While Gaddafi and his last remaining loyalist were fleeing from Sirte, US spy planes had been tracking them. Gaddafi was making his escape in heavily armored convoys; he was being spied on by US spy planes who were aware of his possible plans for escaping.
The convoy Gaddafi was escaping was spotted by a pilot less spy plane and sent back to the base in Mojave desert which confirmed his identity and gave green lights for the attack. The convoy was attacked by fighter jets and there was crossfire by Gaddafi loyalist against the rebels who were on the run after the airstrike. Reports also confirm Gaddafi’s defense minister Abu Bakr Younus was also among the dead.
