Muammar Gaddafi killed trying to escape Sirte

Looks like it's official. From the Jerusalem Post:

Snip:
Ex-Libyan leader was fleeing his hometown when NATO warplanes attacked his convoy; he was wounded in the strike, captured by NTC forces, died of his wounds, announces National Transitional Council official Abdel Majid.

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. [link to www.jpost.com]
