New Video Footage Shows 'Gaddafi's Killer'

October 24, 2011 from Al Jazeera English

WARNING: Graphic Content. Video footage has emerged of fighters loyal to Libya's National Transitional Council claiming to be the assassins of ex-Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi. Today, his body remains on display to the public, and it is still unclear where he will be buried. Meanwhile Gaddafi's son, Saadi Gaddafi, says he's "outraged by the vicious brutality" shown towards his father and his brother Muatassim, who were both killed last week. More video clips showing Gaddafi's last moments are slowly trickling in, and they are likely to come under closer scrutiny in the coming days as the United Nations, rights organizations, and more recently, the United States, backs an investigation into the deaths of Gaddafi and his son. Al Jazeera's Khadija Magardie reports.
