Libya's ex-leader, Muammar Gaddafi is dead. According to Libya's new leaders, he was killed by fighters who overran his hometown of Sirte on Thursday, October 20, 2011. His bloodied body was stripped and displayed around the world from cellphone.
Senior officials in the interim government, which ended his 42-year rule two months ago but had laboured to subdue thousands of diehard loyalists, said his death opened the way for a declaration of "liberation" after eight months of war.
