 NATO later learned "from open sources and Allied intelligence" that Gaddafi was in the convoy and that the strike likely contributed to his capture.After the airstrike, which destroyed the vehicle in front of Muammar Gaddafi's car, he and his son Mutassim, and former defence minister Abu-Bakr Yunis Jabr took shelter in a nearby house, which was then shelled by NTC forces.Mutassim then took 20 fighters and went to look for undamaged cars, having persuaded his father to come too.
