"Muammar Gaddafi's blood-streaked body was stashed in a commercial freezer at a shopping centre Friday as Libyans waited in line outside for a chance to see him and authorities tried to figure out where to bury the longtime dictator.The makeshift provisions for the corpse reflected the disorganization and confusion that has surrounded Gaddafi's death. Accounts of how he died after being captured by revolutionary fighters remained contradictory, and the top UN rights official raised concerns he was shot to death in custody.
His burial had been planned for Friday, in accordance with Islamic traditions calling for quick interment. But the interim government delayed it, saying the circumstances of his death still had to be determined. Information Minister Mahmoud Shammam also said authorities are "debating right now what the best place is to bury him."
An AP correspondent saw the body at the shopping center in the coastal city of Misrata, home of the fighters who killed the ousted leader a day earlier in his hometown of Sirte."
