Libya’s acting Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril has told the BBC he wished ex-leader Muammar Gaddafi was alive.
“I want to know why he did this to the Libyan people,” he told the BBC’s Hardtalk programme. “I wish I were his prosecutor in his trial.”
Mr Jibril added that he would welcome a full investigation into the colonel’s death – as the UN has urged.
The statement comes as Libya’s new leaders prepare to declare the country’s liberation later on Sunday.
They have come under pressure to give a full account of Col Gaddafi’s death in his hometown of Sirte on Thursday.
The US said this should be done in an “open and transparent manner”. UN human rights Commissioner Navi Pillay called for a full investigation, as have major human rights groups.
Video footage showed Col Gaddafi being captured alive – and then dead. Officials say he was killed in crossfire.
A post-mortem carried out on the former leader’s body on Sunday showed he had received a bullet wound to the head, medical sources said.
