TRIPOLI - Libyan Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril, citing a forensic report, said on Friday ousted Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi died from a bullet wound to the head received in crossfire between interim government fighters and his own supporters after he had been captured.
"'Gadhafi was taken out of a sewage pipe ... he didn't show any resistance. When we started moving him he was hit by a bullet in his right arm and when they put him in a truck he did not have any other injuries'," Jibril told a news conference, reading from the forensic report. ?
"'When the car was moving it was caught in crossfire between the revolutionaries and Gadhafi forces in which he was hit by a bullet in the head'," Jibril said reading from the report. ?
"The forensic doctor could not tell if it came from the revolutionaries or from Gadhafi's forces," Jibril said. Gadhafi was alive when he was taken from Sirte, but died a few minutes before reaching hospital, the prime minister said.
