Gaddafi Was Still Alive \ Gaddafi War Noch Am Leben \ وكان القذافي لا يزال حي

Uncertain body of Gaddafi is on display in a commercial freezer at a shopping center. Libyan authorities are still on the debate for management of Gaddafi’s blood-streaked body. authorities are still trying to figure out where to bury his body.

The body, stripped to the waist and wearing beige trousers, is laid on a bloodied mattress on the floor of a room-sized freezer where restaurants and stores in the centre keep perishables. With his burial not scheduled for several days, the dead tyrant's corpse is being kept in a chiller used by restaurants to store perishable foods.

Hundreds of ordinary Libyans queued up outside a refrigerated meat store in Misrata, where the dead dictator was being stored as a trophy. A guard allowed small groups into the room to celebrate next to Gaddafi's body. A bullet hole is visible on the left side of his head and in the centre of his chest, and dried blood streaks his arms and head.

Authorities have said that he will be buried secretly, but is that possible?
