Tripoli: The burial of slain Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi has been delayed for further investigation, Libyan officials said on Friday.
The transitional leadership had said that the body would be buried on Friday in accordance with Islamic tradition.
Images of Gaddafi’s last moments, however, have raised questions as to whether he was captured alive or dead.
Information Minister Mahmoud Shammam said Gaddafi’s body was still in Misrata, where it was taken after he was found in his hometown of Sirte,.
Libyan leaders said it appeared that Gaddafi had been caught in the crossfire and it was unclear who fired the bullet that killed him.
