Moamer Kadhafi was captured as his hometown of Sirte was falling on Thursday, a National Transitional Council commander said, adding that the ousted Libyan strongman was badly wounded.
"He has been captured. He is badly wounded, but he is still breathing," Mohamed Leith told AFP, adding that he had seen Kadhafi himself and that he was wearing a kaki uniform and a turban.
Libyan TV channel "Libya lil Ahrar" also said that he was in custody.
In Sirte, medics said the defence minister in Kadhafi\'s ousted regime, Abu Bakr Yunis, had been killed in the final battle for the strongman\'s hometown.
His body was identified at the field hospital where it was brought in a pick-up truck on Thursday, Dr Abdu Rauf told AFP.
