Wounded Gaddafi Captured
Ousted Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has been captured, Sky sources say.
Anti-Gaddafi fighters celebrated as news of the fate of the ousted leader emerged.
"We have confirmation, dead or alive, that he is in the hands of the National Transitional Council," security editor Sam Kiley said.
"The sources who have confirmed it to Sky are as authoritative as it can get outside the NTC."
There have been conflicting reports about Gaddafi's condition and how the alleged capture happened.
A senior government official was quoted by Reuters as saying the former leader had died of wounds suffered during his capture.
Middle Eastern news channel Al-Arabiya said his body was being taken to the city of Misratah.
Earlier National Transitional Council military commander Abdel Majid told Reuters: "He's captured. He's wounded in both legs ... He's been taken away by ambulance."
Abdel Majid suggested he was taken from a convoy near Sirte as he attempted to flee.
However, Reuters also quoted a Libyan government fighter as saying he was found in a hole inside his home town.
Anti-Gaddafi fighters celebrated on the streets of Sirte as reports of Gaddafi's fate emerged.
US state department spokeswoman Beth Gosselin said Washington was aware of the reports but could not confirm them.
A Pro-Gaddafi television channel was quick to deny his death or his capture.
