When a young soldier for Colonel Moammar Gadhafi tried to surrender to rebel forces, he faced the same problem now confronting remnants of the loyalist army: street justice.
Mohammed Abdul Wahab, 21, threw his hands in air and walked towards a group of rebels on Tuesday evening, calling for mercy. His captors put him inside a mosque, but an angry mob saw his green uniform and dark skin and assumed he was a foreign mercenary. The crowd called for blood. Terrified, he broke out of the mosque and ran away – but fell down in a spray of bullets.
