[Misrata fighter who first captured Gaddafi recounts what happened.]
- Tell the story, step by step. - From the beginning, when you first swooped upon him in the hole.

- Understand? (unclear) - We were going to support the Tiger brigade.
-From where did you enter? - We entered from ... the Industrial area
- The Eastern group, I think, they are Kalaa martyrs
Main thing is that their field commander, he's from the Al-Awaiyib family in Zaruq (Misrata)
Main point is that they caught someone, a black man.
- He surrended? - He surrended himself. He went right up to them.
He came right up to us.
He said, "Mutassim and Ahmed Ibrahim."
- Gaddafi? - No, this person said, "Mutassim and Ahmed Ibrahim."
He said, "They're inside."
After a while, an hour, an hour, half an hour ...
We saw maybe 10 to 15 in a room near us. Our group went to them.
(unclear)
We captured them and advanced to the grain silo.
- We saw a group (NTC fighters) running left and right.
At that time, under us was the drain where Gaddafi was.
The drain --
- He was under the road. - The road. He was under us.
- (unclear) - Next to the drain was a mound of sand, and two people wer hiding there.
They had shot 3 or 4 from our group from Misrata, okay?
After that Ahmed Hashim went down them. He was with us.
He killed them both.
After that, we reached the other side. 4 or 5 people came out and surrended themselves.
One of them said, "Gaddafi is here and he is injured."
Main thing is that he said "Gaddafi is hiding there and is injured."
When we got near the hole, I saw his bushyhead and jumped on him immediately. My group came after.
After that, EVERYBODY descend on it.
God is greater.
When we captured him, he had this gun with him.
And with him, a bag that has a gold gun in it. It's with our group in Sirte.
They (gun and bag) are still with the Al-Ghiran brigade.
(unclear) - No, not with him.
- This is the Thuraya. - This is the gun and this is the Thuraya.
Put them on the table for whoever wants to film it.
Adn this Gaddafi's blood.
God is greater.
