Outside the Mitiga Hospital in eastern Tripoli, a group of men in white smocks and masks are loading the remains⁶ of 17 men onto a truck.

They were then tortured, and as the Gaddafi forces retreated they were executed. One of the victims looks to be about 15 years old. If they do catch Gaddafi alive, evidence from this investigation⁷ could be part of the prosecution⁸ against him in The Hague.

That move does two things: it gives Bank of America an additional cushion to absorb any losses, and the fact that Mr Buffett's involved is seen by many in the markets as a vote of confidence in the bank, whose share price rose after the announcement.Andrew Walker reporting.
