A translation by Sky News of the video showing the chaotic moments after Moammar Gadhafi's capture zeroes in on what appear to be his final words, reports MSNBC. "What you are doing is not allowed in Islamic law," he shouts to his captors. "What you are doing is forbidden in Islam!" After a gun is pointed at his head, he says, "Do you know right from wrong?" One man answers, "Shut up, dog." Shortly after, Gadhafi appears to lose consciousness.

Gadhafi's burial has been delayed until an investigation into exactly how he died is finished, and Libyans have been lining up again today to view his body. The location? A large commercial freezer in a Misrata shopping center. It's normally used by the center's restaurants to store perishables. (Click to read the 16 best Twitter reactions to Gadhafi's death.)
