Gaddafi's gold pistol surfaces on eBay
21 Oct 2011
The world just became less colourful
Tripoli - Barely 24 hours after the accidental assassination of former Libyan strong man, Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi, his famous gold pistol has surfaced on eBay.
A young freedom fighter was seen yesterday on CNN brandishing the ‘liberated’ pistol as his fellow combatants surrounded him celebrating the unintended killing of their former leader.
But as early as midnight yesterday, 'Gaddafi's 100% guaranteed original gold pistol' was on eBay attracting bids from as far away as Texas USA.
The listing for the golden weapon indicates that 'it would be shipped to any location in the world from China.'
In related news, Libyans and international observers are still trying to determine who was actually killed.
Was it Gathafi, Qaddafi, Kadafi, Gaddafi, Qaḏḏāfī, Qaddafi, Kadafi or Gaddafi ?
