Autopsy carried out on ex-leader

MISRATA, Libya - An autopsy has been carried out on the body of ousted Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi, who was controversially killed after being captured alive, an official said on Sunday.

"The autopsy was carried out this (Sunday) morning," Misrata military council spokesman Fathi al-Bashaagha told AFP.

"We had not planned to do an autopsy but Tripoli requested that we make sure things are done correctly," he said.
