17-year old killed Gaddafi
with his own gold-plated pistol

"Colonel Gaddafi's daughter phoned her father after learning of his capture – only for the call to be answered by a rebel who told her: 'Old Fuzzhead is dead'.
The way the news was broken to Aisha Gaddafi, 34, has dismayed many officials in the ruling National Transitional Council (NTC).

The revelation came amid international demands for an investigation into how the deposed Libyan leader died. NTC sources say he was shot by a 17-year-old with the dictator's own gold-plated revolver."

1. He was also a Yankee fan
At least according to the NY Post. On Friday, its front page headline said that, showing a picture of him wearing a baseball cap with the Yankees' famous NY emblem.

3. Quite something for a 17 year old to live with, killing a person. Not unhappy Q is gone but I wish i
It had been someone older who did it.

4. It wasn't a revolver.





A minor point I know, and it doesn't make Qadafi any less dead, but it looks like a M1911 replica.

5. Prior photos showed it was a self auto, not a revolver. Not that the UK media has many clues

8. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!
Mussolini... Ceausescu... Gaddafi...

Three sons-of-bitches who received righteous justice at the hands of the peoples they oppressed.
