"According to initial reports, none of the revolutionaries fired at him after arresting him," said Ibrahim Dabbashi, Libya`s deputy UN ambassador.
Dabbashi spoke at a Security Council meeting on Libya where concern about human rights was again raised. Kadhafi died last Thursday in mysterious circumstances and his body was buried at a secret desert location on Monday.
"According to the initial inquiries and information we have, Kadhafi was injured in the course of the clashes between his loyalists and the revolutionaries," Dabbashi told the 15-member council.
After his detention, "he was bleeding from his abdomen and head and he passed away on his arrival at hospital at Misrata," the envoy added.
Libya`s National Transitional Council has set up an independent commission into the death and Dabbashi said the findings would be made public when the investigation is completed.
"All of you know the extent of the abomination which gripped Libyans during Kadhafi`s regime as a result of the horrendous acts he perpetrated against our people," Dabbashi said.
"However if we come across a breach of the rights of Kadhafi, or any other person, the perpetrators will be punished."
International concern has been raised over the way Kadhafi met his end after NTC fighters hauled him out of concrete sewage pipes where he was found hiding. Mobile phone videos showed him still alive at that point. (*)
