VIDEO: Muammar Gaddafi's final moments

Last updated on: October 21, 2011 16:26 IST

"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.

69-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 video here shows Gaddafi being assaulted by the rebels before being shot dead.
