The corpses of Muammar Gaddafi, his son Muatassim and a former aide have been moved from a commercial freezer in a Misrata warehouse in anticipation of burial, a security guard said.

Local military spokesman Ibrahim Beitalmal said the burial is likely to take place today.

The three men would be buried in unmarked graves in a secret desert location to avoid vandalism or the place becoming a shrine.

Asked about the removal of the bodies from the freezer, he said he was unaware of the process of burial getting under way.

However Salem al-Mohandes, a security guard at the warehouse complex, said the bodies were taken away late on Monday evening, where they had been on display for the past four days.

A virus that is similar to the deadly Ebola strain has been discovered in Europe for the first time.

Scientists found the Lloviu virus – a filovirus normally found in East Africa and the Philippines – in a group of bats living in caves in Asturias and Cantabria, in northern Spain.

Researchers told the journal PLOS Pathogens that filoviruses were among the deadliest in humans – and that the study showed how the strains were developing and spreading.

Study author Gustavo Palacios said: ‘The detection of this novel filovirus in Spain is intriguing because it is completely outside of its previously described range.

‘We need to ascertain whether other filoviruses native to Europe exist, and more importantly, if and how it causes disease.’

Scientists analysed samples from the lungs, livers, spleens, throats and brains from 34 bats found in the caves.

NAIROBI, Kenya — While Libya’s former rebels and many Western nations welcomed the end of the country’s long and brutal dictatorship, many sub-Saharan Africans are mourning the death of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, celebrated as much for his largesse as for his willingness to stand up to the West.

To them, his violent death was another sad chapter in a long-running narrative of Western powers meddling in Africa’s affairs.

“We are the 1 percent who are not celebrating,” said Salim Abdul, who helps run a major mosque in Uganda’s capital named for the former Libyan leader, who provided the money to build it.

Canadian anthropolgist Felix Pharand has devoted 13 years to creating diagrams of how human technologies such as data cables, aeroplanes and roads are colonising the surface of our planet.

Using an ordinary home PC, Pharand input data from agencies such as the Geospatial Intelligence Agency and Atmospheric Administration to create accurate illustrations of how humans have ‘domesticated’ our planet – superimposing the data on images of the earth’s cities lit up at night.

Pharand claims three per cent of the planet’s land surface is under tarmac – an area the size of India.
