'Gaddafi will go like Hitler'

STOCKHOLM - One of Muammar Gaddafi's former ministers has predicted that the Libyan leader will follow in Adolf Hitler's footsteps by committing suicide.

Mustapha Abdeljalil, justice minister until he quit over the bloody crackdown on protesters, told Sweden's Expressen that he expected Gaddafi to make good on his pledge to die on Libyan soil rather than slink into exile.

"Gaddafi's time is up. He is going to go like Hitler, he is going to commit suicide," Abdeljalil said.

Hitler committed suicide in Berlin in April 1945.

Abdeljalil said earlier this week that Gaddafi personally ordered the 1988 Lockerbie bombing that killed 270 jet passengers.
