'Don't Shoot', Pleaded Gaddafi When Captured

Tripoli, Oct 20: “Don’t shoot, don’t shoot” were the last words of slain Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi who was known for savage killing of dissidents during his reign of 42 years in the North African country.

69-year-old Gaddafi pleaded for mercy when rebels captured him while he was trying to flee from a drain where he was hiding in Sirte, the last major bastion of resistance two months after the regime fell in August.

The BBC reported that a rebel fighter claimed that Gaddafi was hiding in a hole in the centre of the city and pleaded “don’t shoot”.
