Confusion mounts over who pulled the trigger

DISTURBING images of a bloodstained and shaken Muammar Gaddafi being dragged around by angry fighters quickly circulated around the world after the Libyan dictator’s death near his hometown of Sirte.

The exact circumstances of his demise are still unclear, with conflicting accounts of his death. But the footage of the last chaotic moments of Gadd-afi’s life offers some clues as to what happened.

Gaddafi was still alive when he was captured near Sirte. In the video, filmed by a bystander, Gaddafi is wounded and dazed, being dragged off a vehicle’s bonnet and pulled to the ground by his hair.
