Tripoli, Oct 25: Muammar Gaddafi and his son Mo’tassim were buried at dawn on Tuesday in an unknown location, ending a wrangle over the rotting bodies.
"Gaddafi and the son, Mo’tassim, were buried at dawn in a secret place with proper respects paid. We will release more details officially later," a senior interim government official told Reuters.
A military official from the town of Misrata - where the corpses had been on public display in a former meat locker - confirmed the burials.
Forces loyal to the ruling National Transitional Council had argued over what to do with Gaddafi’s body, until its decay forced them on Monday to end the display.

His $ 200 billion had no use, died like a helpless street person with bullets at the head and stomach. He called the people as rats and roches, but he had to spend time with them. He pleaded for mercy, but got no mercy beause he never showed mercy to anybody. Autocrats never learn from other autocrats. While personally poor Mother Teresa died, the whole world went to Calcutta; Kings-Queens-Presidents-Chief Ministers-Prime Minister-Political leaders and the public tearfully bid farewell to her. The whole world watched the funeral with tears. Let us all learn something about life! |
