Xinhua also said TNC spokesman Mahmoud Shamman couldn't confirm reports of Gaddafi's capture or death.
Moreover, State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland told Xinhua that Washington "cannot confirm at this time" news about him.
In addition, NATO press releases say nothing. By mid-evening October 20, a disingenuous statement said:
"After 42 years, Colonel Qadhafi's rule of fear has finally come to an end. Libya can draw a line under a long dark chapter in its history and turn over a new page. Now the people of Libya can truly decide their own future.""NATO and our partners have successfully implemented the historic mandate of the United Nations to protect the people of Libya. We will terminate our mission in coordination with the United Nations and the National Transitional Council."
NATO lied. The struggle to free Libya continues. Libya's "dark chapter" began when NATO's killing machine arrived. Jamahiriya loyalists won't ever quit until they're free.
On October 20, Mathaba.net headlined, "Rumours of Muammar Qaddafi Spread by NTC for Hillary Clinton," saying:
NATO, imperial Washington, Western media, Al Jazeera, Al-Arabia, and other sources first claimed Gaddafi was captured, then reported his death.
"Green Committees have confirmed that the leader is alive, and that the enemy is seeking to take advantage of his being currently out of communications."
