Libyans prepare to bury Gaddafi amid calls to investigate his death

The emergence of dramatic new videos challenged the official account that Gaddafi was treated fairly by his captors when he was seized Thursday but that he was later killed in a “crossfire” between revolutionary fighters and armed loyalists.
