Gaddafi Killed - 'Allahu Akbar!'

So we have extremely graphic images of the bloodied dead body of Libyan leader and terrorist Muammar Gaddafi.

Two months after Western-backed rebels ended 42 years of eccentric, often bloody, one-man rule by capturing the capital Tripoli, his death and the fall of the final bastion ended a nervous hiatus for the new interim government, which is now set to declare formal "liberation" with a timetable for elections.

The killing or capture of senior aides, including possibly two sons, as an armored convoy braved NATO air strikes in a desperate bid to break out of Sirte, may ease fears of diehards regrouping elsewhere - though cellphone video apparently of Gaddafi alive and being beaten may inflame his sympathizers.

A Libyan official said Gaddafi, 69, was killed in custody.

"We confirm that all the evils, plus Gaddafi, have vanished from this beloved country," interim Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril said in Tripoli as the body was delivered, a prize of war, to Misrata, the city whose siege and suffering at the hands of Gaddafi's forces made it a symbol of the rebel cause.

"It's time to start a new Libya, a united Libya," Jibril added. "One people, one future." A formal declaration of liberation, that will set the clock ticking on a timeline to elections, would be made by Friday, he said.

Here's the video of the dead Gaddafi (GRAPHIC):



Gaddafi is gone. Who will replace him? A democracy-friendly leader?

After Obama's Rose Garden statement at 1:00 PM CT, on NBC, a reporter in Libya told Brian Williams that there was a beautiful fireworks display celebrating Gaddafi's death. She also said children could be heard yelling, "Allahu Akbar," God is great!

"Allahu Akbar!"

I can't help but be reminded of the 9/11 terrorists whenever I hear that.

Still waiting for the Osama bin Laden death photo.
