Qaddafi Update

At least one more account has emerged on al Jazeera, which only muddies the picture further.  Qaddafi definitely appears dead, either from:

a) (via Reuters and al Jazeera) Shot by NTC forces during the final offensive against Sirte, either from wounds to the leg or to the head;
b) (via Reuters) Wounded in a NATO airstrike as his convoy tried to flee Sirte; (Note: Abdel Majid Mlegta is apparently the same source for these conflicting accounts); or
c) (via Reuters) Found by anti-Qaddafi fighters in a hole, saying "Don't shoot, don't shoot" to the men who grabbed him, and then somehow was wounded and killed.
