Gaddafi's last words: Don't shoot, don't shoot!
 |
"Don't shoot, don't shoot" were the last words of slain Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi who was known for savage killing of dissidents during his reign of 42 years in the North African country.
Sixty-nine-year-old Gaddafi pleaded for mercy when rebels captured him while he was trying to flee from a drain where he was hiding in Sirte, the last major bastion of resistance two months after the regime fell in August.

The BBC reported that a rebel fighter claimed that Gaddafi was hiding in a hole in the centre of the city and pleaded, "Don't shoot".
The man brandished a golden pistol he took off the former Libyan leader, who was lying dead nearby.
Gaddafi's heavy-handed approach to quelling the protests against his regime was characterized by the International Federation for Human Rights as a strategy of scorched earth.
