Gaddafi dead, His body was paraded through the streets of the city


Gaddafi's body was taken, and have been taking photographs of him
Libya's prime minister Mahmoud Jibril this afternoon confirmed the former dictator was dead.
Gaddafi's eldest son Saif was yesterday said to have been shot in the leg during a firefight and taken to hospital - with some, as yet unconfirmed, reports suggesting he has since died.
His other son Mutassim has been confirmed to have died in today's battle.
'We have been waiting for this moment for a long time,' said Jibril. 'Muammar Gaddafi has been killed'

Wounded, weakened and covered in blood and dirt, the bedraggled fallen dictator was hauled from a truck to meet his unceremonious end. 
In front of a baying mob and amid gun-waving chaotic scenes, Muammar Gaddafi, the former Libyan leader, begged the revolutionary soldiers for his life.
Becoming increasingly desperate, he asked one rebel fighter: 'What did I ever do to you?'
But his pleas fell on deaf ears.

The deposed despot was thrown onto another truck and taken away - to be mercilessly shot to death.
His spilt blood heralded the end of a terrible 42-year epoch in Libyan history

Gaddafi's son Mutassim was also killed in a firefight in Sirte today
The news was also welcomed by Prime Minister David Cameron who said he was 'proud' of the role Britain had played in protecting Libyan civilians.
And U.S. President Barack Obama hailed Gaddafi's death as a 'momentous day' in the history of Libya but warned of 'difficult days ahead' on the road to full democracy in the country.
He urged the Libyan people to respect the human rights of those they had detained and said the Nato mission in Libya would soon come to an end.
He said: 'This marks the end of a long and painful chapter for the people of Libya who now have the opportunity to determine their own destiny in a new and democratic Libya.
