(Reuters) - Former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi died of wounds suffered on Thursday as fighters battling to complete an eight-month-old uprising against his rule overran his hometown Sirte, Libya's interim rulers said.

His killing, which came swiftly after his capture near Sirte, is the most dramatic single development in the Arab Spring revolts that have unseated rulers in Egypt and Tunisia and threatened the grip on power of the leaders of Syria and Yemen.

"He (Gaddafi) was also hit in his head," National Transitional Council official Abdel Majid Mlegta told Reuters. "There was a lot of firing against his group and he died."

Mlegta told Reuters earlier that Gaddafi, who was in his late 60s, was captured and wounded in both legs at dawn on Thursday as he tried to flee in a convoy which NATO warplanes attacked. He said he had been taken away by an ambulance.

There was no independent confirmation of his remarks.

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.

His capture followed within minutes of the fall of Sirte, a development that extinguished the last significant resistance by forces loyal to the deposed leader.

The capture of Sirte and the death of Gaddafi means Libya's ruling NTC should now begin the task of forging a new democratic system which it had said it would get under way after the city, built as a showpiece for Gaddafi's rule, had fallen.

Gaddafi, wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of ordering the killing of civilians, was toppled by rebel forces on August 23 after 42 years of one-man rule over the oil-producing North African state.

NTC fighters hoisted the red, black and green national flag above a large utilities building in the center of a newly-captured Sirte neighborhood and celebratory gunfire broke out among their ecstatic and relieved comrades.

Hundreds of NTC troops had surrounded the Mediterranean coastal town for weeks in a chaotic struggle that killed and wounded scores of the besieging forces and an unknown number of defenders.

NTC fighters said there were a large number of corpses inside the last redoubts of the Gaddafi troops. It was not immediately possible to verify that information.

Okay, now what?

Another dictator gone it seems.

Really?
Infracted for a picture of Gaddafi when that is posted at BBC OFFICIAL SITE, OFFICIAL GUARDIAN SITE AND ALL OVER WELL-KNOWN MEDIA anyways. And WITHOUT any warning. So why didnt you clean out the link to BBC site, because people will see the picture there anyways?

The fact other places have posted mature content does not make it spontaneously appropriate here when it's in direct violation of our policies.

The Obscenity rules are clearly posted and available, your common sense should've been the only warning you required.
By whining about this here you've forfeited your right to appeal. Mira may have been willing to overturn it had you reacted in a mature and responsible manner instead of throwing this tantrum.

I'm gonna get infracted, but LOL

Hopefully the situation doesn't turn out like it is in Egypt...
Also,

How about we keep the insults to a minimum and focus on the actual point of this thread?

Sounds like one of the rebels decided to execute him, instead of let him go to the ICC.

It was kind of expected, he was killing civilians to prove a point, I'm sure there was a line to mutilate his body lol
