NATO monitoring reports of Gadhafi death The Associated Press Posted : Thursday Oct 20, 2011 8:23:12 EDT SIRTE, Libya — Libyan officials and NATO say they cannot confirm reports from revolutionary fighters that ousted Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi was captured or killed on Thursday. The Misrata Military Council, one of multiple command groups for revolutionary forces, says its fighters captured Gadhafi in Sirte. Another commander, Abdel-Basit Haroun, says Gadhafi was killed when an airstrike hit a convoy trying to flee. The spokesman for Libya's transitional government, Jalal al-Gallal, and military spokesman Abdul-Rahman Busin say the reports have not been confirmed. A NATO official also said the alliance could not independently confirm. Libyan fighters captured Sirte on Thursday, two months after the fall of Tripoli.
