A doctor in Libya has told Sky News how he witnessed the bloody aftermath of an alleged mass execution by Colonel Gaddafi's troops.

Dr Moez said he was working in a hospital on the Matiga airbase, in east Tripoli, when a truck full of bullet-riddled bodies turned up outside.

He said one of the survivors told them that they had been captured by Col Gaddafi's troops, held in a school for several days and then executed.

As I looked inside there was possibly 16 or 17 bodies that were riddled with bullets from head to toe. A lot of them had been shot in the head but they had bullets all over.

"Later we found out what had happened: these were all people that had been held by Gaddafi loyalists over the past few days and they were possibly captured over the past week or two, kidnapped if you like, and they were held in a school quite close to the city centre

These are the war crimes we are talking about and I am sure this has been replicated in many parts of the city and even in the country as well".

I don't think anybody except for his family would say he's never been responsible for some awful things; I doubt if many give him credit for many good things though I'll bet there have been several (I look at the "rebels" all in designer T shirts and smart trainers - very few in Tunisia or Morocco have those - perhaps they looted them). But I'm ashamed to be part of the "civilisation" that says he should be condemned and killed without trial. That is just as bad morally in my book.

I agree that he should not be killed without trial, but as for condemned, I think there is more than enough evidence already.

I understand that this discussion may be over-taken by events ... the Government of Libya believes it has Gaddafi pinned down in a complex of buildings close to his compound.

How many were killed by NATO in Iraq?

Almost total agreement here. I'm just not sure about the "killed without trial" bit.

The death penalty isn't something I'd agree with even with a trial.

Mind you I'd make an exception for Jedward. As long as they were both topped together and in public. And it took a loooooong time.

The winners write the history books!
Even ITK should know and acknowledge the reporting of our meedia is biased.
Only a fool gets their worldview from the Sun etc

"He said one of the survivors told them that they had been captured by Col Gaddafi's troops, held in a school for several days and then executed."

so Dr Moez witnessed a miracle.
