Colonel Gaddafi Was Killed Last Thursday After Being Captured By Fighters

Colonel Gaddafi has been buried at an undisclosed location in the Libyan desert, five days after he was killed near his hometown of Sirte.

According to Al Jazeera the deposed dictator's body was taken from a freezer in the city of Misrata where it had been on display until Monday night.

Thousands of Libyans had queued to see the body as proof that he was dead.

National Transitional Council officials told the broadcaster that Gaddafi's son Mutassim and a former aide have been buried along with him.

Libya's interim government had been keen to keep the location of his grave secret in order to prevent it from becoming a shrine.

To protect democracy, we should not re-elect BarBarak. America is mistrusted by more people in the world because of his foreign policy disasters. Pakistan is angry, so are the Middle East and Africa. With his new-found love for killing, any American that threatens establishment in the least will be slaughtered. Democracy & protection have been desecrated in Libya, where Sharia law now oppresses women without means to escape through divorce from being one of several ragdolls to bearded men. Former justice minister Jalil, who use to implement the human rights abuses whilst it was blamed on Gaddafi now has a free pass to escalate it. The KillerY Kill_INtons should explain how life in Libya is now better. What they have done is to use/recycle taxpayers' defensive assets to massacre & steal resources so that they will get hundreds of millions of extra campain money from banking & oil maffias!

He had to vacate the freezer since there was a large shipment of Ben & Jerry's arriving soon.

Let us now hope and trust that the Libyan people can now move on, and rebuild their country again, I am certain that the UK will proffer all the help they can.
