Libyan Interim Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril was on NPR yesterday, and said "Nobody can tell if the [fatal] shot was from the rebel fighters or from his own security guard."
Okay, if he bled out from the wounds he suffered before being captured, this is possible.
"The [fatal] shot was in his head," Jibril said. "When he came out [from hiding] he was safe. [But] the intensity of the fire" led to Qaddafi's death.
Wait, say what?!? Was Jibril watching the same videos the rest of us were? Because: a) Moammar looked like a bloody mess when they apparently took him into custody; and b) Qaddafi was also very much alive --albeit wounded and staggering -- when the NTC forces got him.
Now I suppose it is possible that he could have survived a shot in the head long enough to walk from the hood of one car into the back of another and subsequently died of his wounds. But given the video evidence to date, it strains credulity to suggest, as Jibril does, that he was killed in a crossfire after as he was being taken into custody.
