"Gaddafi and the son, Mo`tassim, were buried at dawn in a secret place with proper respects paid. We will release more details officially later," a senior interim government official told Reuters.
A military official from the town of Misrata -- where the corpses had been on public display in a former meat locker -- confirmed the burials.
Forces loyal to the ruling National Transitional Council had argued over what to do with Gaddafi`s body, until its decay forced them on Monday to end the display.
