Mutassim Gadhafi, one of the ousted Libyan strongman's sons, was found dead in Sirte on Thursday, a commander of the new regime forces told Agence France Presse.

"We found him dead. We put his body and that of (former defense minister) Abu Bakr Younis in an ambulance to take them to Misrata," said Mohammed Leith, who had earlier confirmed that Moammar Gadhafi had been captured in his hometown and subsequently died of his wounds.

Later on Thursday, Al-Arabiya television broadcast an image apparently showing Mutassim's body.
