Libyan provisional government officials say ousted leader Moammar Gadhafi will be buried today in an unmarked grave in a secret desert location ending a growing controversy over his decomposing corpse.

The officials said the bodies of Gadhafi, his slain son Mutassim and former Defense Minister Abu Bakr Younis will be buried together in the same ceremony. They said Muslim sheikhs will attend the burial.

National Transitional Council head Mustafa Abdel Jalil said yesterday that he hopes that talks to form a new interim government will end in about two weeks.

Mr. Jalil said also said the NTC has ordered an investigation into Gadhafi’s death, after the U.S. government, rights groups and others called for the probe.
