Wow. When's the last time a head of state or government died in battle?

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Gaddafi wasn't in the battle voluntarily, AFAIK, he was just chased down.

That's surprising. And I was just reading an article on his pending reelection.

Not impossible that he was hit by 'friendly fire'.  :ph34r:

Tragically shot five times in the back by his security detail in his command tent.

His son took over, so if it was a coup it was done by him rather than any alternate factions in the military.

I am thinking the Paraguay president who fought Brazil and Argentina.

The last European Head of State to be killed in battle is Charles XII.

That is the only time this happened in the Americas I think,

But in the chaotic world of post-Imperialism Africa is this really the first time this has happened?
