UN rights chief urges probe into Qadhafi's death
[Dawn] The circumstances surrounding the death of Libya's ousted despot Muammar Qadaffy
...who is now deader than a rock...
are unclear and an investigation is needed, the UN human rights
...which often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
chief said Friday.

"On the issue of Qadaffy's death yesterday, the circumstances are still unclear," Navi Pillay's front man Rupert Colville said.

"There should be some kind of investigation given what we saw yesterday."

Question marks remained about how Qadaffy met his end -- mobile phone footage appeared to show him captured bloodied but still alive and then killed by his captors.

"The two videos... taken together are very disturbing," noted Colville.

Nevertheless, Qadaffy's death and the fall of Sirte has led to a "new era" for Libya.

"One key aspect to obtain closure on the legacy of Qadaffy would be to ensure that justice is done," added the front man.
