Libyans tracking Moammar Gadhafi offered a $2 million bounty on the fallen dictator's head and official pardon for anyone who kills or captures him as rebels battled Wednesday to clear the last pockets of resistance from the capital Tripoli.
While die-hard loyalists kept up the fight to defend Gadhafi, his support was crumbling by the hour, and even his foreign minister, Abdul Ati al-Obeidi said his 42-year rule was over.
Asked by the British broadcaster Channel 4 if a negotiated settlement or safe passage for Gadhafi from Libya were still possible, the foreign minister said: “It looks like things have passed this kind of solution.”
A bold Gadhafi vowed from hiding to fight on “until victory or martyrdom,” in an audio message early Wednesday.
