Don't shoot, pleaded Gaddafi

"Don't shoot, don't shoot" pleaded Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi when he was captured on Thursday by fighters of the Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC) in Sirte.

A soldier who claimed to have captured Muammar Gaddafi told the BBC that Gaddafi shouted, "Don't shoot! Don't shoot!"

NTC field commander Mohemmed Buras Ali Al-Maknee told Xinhua that a group of fighters from the western Libyan city of Misrata captured Gaddafi, who was severely injured, in Sirte.
