UN Panel Calls for Inquiry Into Qaddafi s Death

Nick Cumming-Bruce, The New York Times News Service: 'The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights called on Friday for an inquiry into the death of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi amid conflicting accounts of how the Libyan dictator met his end and video that appeared to show him alive after his capture.... In the laws of war there is an obvious difference between someone killed in combat or crossfire, or a captive being executed or summarily shot down.'
