BBC, SKY and Al Jazeerah TV news channels all report that he died of wounds suffered at dawn in a convoy that was trying to escape from Sirte, but all channels are waiting for official confirmation.

Either way it’s the end of an era for Libya, but what is to follow?

I doubt the criminal US will let these people pick up the pieces, rebuild, and get on with a peaceful life.

You might be surprised.

I think we all want to see Libya pick up the pieces. One things for sure, it can't get much worse than the last several decades under the rule of this terrible tyrant.

Do not forget that Libya's transition might take the form of something that is even more undesirable to the US than Gaddafi himself, but if that is what the Libyan's want, then so be it. In the end, they should transform into a democracy, and that means they are free to elect whoever they want.

What I think will happen is that there will be enormous Oil and Gas investment from the west, and Libya will try and toe the line in order to exploit its resources and distribute wealth across the population.

No, look at my quote above. I noticed the mistake myself! :lol:

Libya's transition will take whatever form the US installs!

I have seen this scenario time and time again.
