I know this might be a rumour but there is news coming in saying that #Saif #Gadaffu has been caught #Libya

Apparently #Saif #Gadaffi made a runner from BW to the south.#NATO attacked it and 6 people were captured.They said Saif lost his arm #Libya

I hope the arm that #Saif lost (If true) is the one that contains that freaky finger he pointed at us #Libya

according to Scotsman Saif was seen in #BaniWalid Thursday

What's up with Saif? I hope the arm he lost is the one with the finger lol #TooLate

This timen in #Sirte i saw an Apache flying on the beach, you gotta love NATO

In #Sirte we didn't fight people who loved Gaddafi we fought people who were fighting for there own lives, they think we will insult them.

Actually they are not being treated the "best treatment" but we treat them a lot better than they treated our prisinors and #HRW is there

Have i mentioned the "black magic" Gaddafi forces had? One of them had Quran in his pocket but full with words written by a "magician"

We caught a #Syrian mercenary in #Sirte called Bashar lol we made a lot of fun at him and called him Shabee7a dont worry we took care of him

Snipers can hit from 3-5 miles so maybe your cousin was far but thank him for telling

the truth and you should be proud of him

even AlJazeera was stopped more than once but when battles start and heats up some reporters sneak in, Jazeera always does it

Libyan PM says Gadhafi trying to recruit fighters

"Reports have shown that 68 vehicles with at least eight fighters each crossed the Libyan borders to Mali and Gadhafi is hiding in the southern desert," Jibril told reporters.

He said Gadhafi had made a deal with the Hamada tribe, which roams the borders between Chad, Sudan and Libya, to provide 12,000 fighters "to enter Libya and start the fight."

Libyan fighters capture Gadhafi hometown of Sirte

Libyan fighters drove the last holdouts of Moammar Gadhafi out of his hometown of Sirte in a few hours of fierce gunbattles Thursday, then declared victory over the last major resistance two months after the fall of Tripoli. The ecstatic former rebels celebrated by firing endless rounds into the sky, pumping their guns, knives and even a meat cleaver in the air and singing the national anthem.

Reporters at the scene watched as the final assault began around 8 a.m. and ended about 90 minutes later. Just before the battle, about five carloads of Gadhafi loyalists tried to flee the enclave down the coastal highway that leads out of the city. But they were met by gunfire from the revolutionaries, who killed at least 20 of them.

"Our forces control the last neighborhood in Sirte," Hassan Draoua, a member of Libya's interim National Transitional Council, told The Associated Press in Tripoli. "The city has been liberated."

Libyan fighters capture Gaddafi hometown of Sirte Sirte: Libyan interim government fighters hoisted the new national flag above the centre of Sirte on Thursday after completing their capture of Muammar Gaddafi's home town, the last serious pocket of resistance by loyalists of the ousted leader.

A witness said celebratory gunfire broke out among National Transitional Council (NTC) forces as the flag was raised above a large utilities building in the Mediterranean city, which had been under NTC siege for nearly two months.

Battle for control of #Libya ends as #Sirte falls in line - latest on #MENA blog

Guardian blog:

Some residents are returning to Sirte to protect their homes from being looted by forces loyal to the new government, the BBC reports.

One returning resident, Mohammed Sayeh, said anti-government forces took a computer, a mobile phone and his passport. He said he came back to stop the house being burnt down.

Witnesses: Libyan fighters overrun last positions of Gadhafi loyalists in Sirte, city falls.

Breaking: AP is reporting that Sirte has fallen.

Government forces have captured the last remaining Gaddafi positions in Sirte, Reuters confirms, citing frontline commanders.

Reuters has quotes from commanders:

"Sirte has been liberated. There are no Gaddafi forces any more," said Colonel Yunus Al Abdali, head of operations in the eastern half of the city. "We are now chasing his fighters who are trying to run away."

Another front line commander confirmed the capture of the Mediterranean coastal city, which was the last remaining significant bastion of pro-Gaddafi fighters almost three months after the ex-leader was overthrown by rebels.

AP has more details on the fall of Sirte:

Libyan fighters have overrun the last positions of Gaddafi loyalists holding out in the city of Sirte and the revolutionaries now have all of the ousted leader's hometown within their hands.

Reporters on the scene say the final push to capture the remaining pro-Gadhafi positions began around 8am on Thursday and was over after about 90 minutes. Just before the assault, about five carloads of loyalists tried to flee the enclave down the coastal highway but were killed by revolutionaries.

Revolutionaries began searching homes and buildings looking for any Gaddafi fighters who may be hiding there.

Walt writes:

Jibril, who heads the executive board of the rebels' National Transitional Council, did not say exactly when he would resign, but hinted that it could be as soon as Thursday, when a televised meeting of his group would detail what it had accomplished since Gaddafi's ouster, he said. In a grim assessment of Libya's current state, Jibril suggested that as the war dragged on, he had found governing the country was increasingly difficult.

There are reports that some Gaddafi loyalists are continuing to fight in Sirte.

Barry Malone a Reuters journalist tweets:

Blake Hounshell from Foreign Policy magazine:

There's still a Gaddafi convoy west of Sirte, AJA reports, and clashes ongoing. Any big names in it, I wonder?

BBC reporter Peter Biles:

#Libya. Live TV pictures show NTC victory celebrations in #Sirte, but is it really all over?

Alaeddin Muntasser, a Malta based volunteer helping aid efforts to Libya, quips:

If the news about #Sirte is true, it has to be the monster dozer that did it :) Who can see that coming and stand his ground??

Al-Jazeera is being cautious about reports that Sirte has fallen. It says government forces are "poised" to take the city, while it shows pictures of fighters celebrating victory and burning the green flag of the Gaddafi regime.

Al Jazeera's James Bays, reporting from Tripoli, said: "Some high level members [of the NTC] ... are aware of the pictures [of Sirte] being broadcast.

"They are on their phones right now to Sirte trying to confirm this. If it is true that Sirte has fallen, or is about to fall, then it is very very important news.

"Because all along the NTC has said that once Sirte falls, the war will be over."

Al Jazeera also reports that around 100 cars have been seen fleeing Sirte and have been involved in clashes.

The network is now confirming that Sirte has fallen. It also reports that one of Gaddafi's cousins, Ahmed Ibrahim, was arrested trying to flee Sirte in that convoy.

Ibrahim was responsible for education under the Gaddafi regime.

Reuters has more on the hoisting of the government flag in Sirte:

Libyan interim government fighters hoisted the new national flag above the centre of Sirte on Thursday after completing their capture of Muammar Gaddafi's home town, the last serious pocket of resistance by loyalists of the ousted leader.

A Reuters witness said celebratory gunfire broke out among National Transitional Council forces as the flag was raised above a large utilities building in the Mediterranean city, which had been under NTC siege for nearly two months.

Libya's interim government forces appeared taken Sirte without direct help from Nato.

Nato jets hit no targets over Libya yesterday, and haven't hit anything in Sirte for more than a week.

The Guardian has a day by day guide to the bombing campaign.

We may have spoken too soon about Nato's involvement in Sirte.

Al Jazeera's Evan Hill tweets:

Please treat the following with lots of caution, but the Misrata Military Council is reporting that Gaddafi himself has been arrested.

This is not confirmed. In an email the Information Centre for the Misrata Military Council said:

Now in contact with our correspondent at the front of the Sirte. The tyrant Muammar Gaddafi Was arrested. God is great and thank God

Asked what would happen if Gaddafi had been captured, Shammam said:

We are going to put him in fornt of the court, we're not going to hang him in the street. We are going to give him the fair trial he never gave the Libyan people. We hope that we are catching some big names so we can put them in the court and let the people have the last word on their fate ...I think every Libyan wants to see Gaddafi stand trial.

A Libyan TV station has reportedly just announced that Muammar Gaddafi has been captured. The report cannot be confirmed at this stage.

Mahmoud Shammam, the NTC's information minister. was just on al-Jazeera, and alluded to the capture of Gaddafi but refused to confirm it.

He said:

I think we can say that Sirte is liberated ...I think the celebrations are going on right now. Also there's big talk about some big fish on their way to Misrata. I cannot confirm anything but people over there are talking they caught a big fish.

An NTC official has told al-Jazeera that Gaddafi has been captured and was wounded while being detained. There is still no independent verification available.

Reuters is quoting NTC official Abdel Majid as saying Gaddafi has been wounded in both legs.

The Libyan immigration minister, Ali Errishi, has just told al-Jazeera that he has spoken to fighters who have told him Gaddafi has been captured, along with his

spokesman Moussa Ibrahim. But still we await independent confirmation. Errishi said Gaddafi is wounded, adding:

He is, as we speak, in the custody of the freedom fighters ....I'm very, very

confident [in my sources] ...They would not have woken me up early in the morning all the way from Misrata, I am in [Washington] DC [if it was not true].

Al-Jazeera is reporting that Nato forces fired on the convoy, although that report is also unconfirmed.

Al-Jazeera is reporting that Nato forces fired on the convoy, although that report is also unconfirmed.

The Associated Press news agency says the chief spokesman for the National Transitional Council, Jalal el-Gallal, and the NTC's military spokesman, Abdul-Rahman Busin, say that reports of Gaddafi's capture are still unconfirmed.

According to Sky News, the Dutch prime minister, Mark Rutte, is calling the capture of Gaddafi good news.

Sky News is now saying its sources are confirming the capture.

We still cannot confirm this.

Mahmoud Jibril, Libya's Interim Leader, has hinted that he may step down today. In an interview with Time magazine he also complained about political infighting in the new Libya.

Reports of the arrests came after the fall of Gaddafi's final stronghold of Sirte. The city was captured after a 90 minute offensive this morning. Fighters hoisted flags of the new interim government over the city and burned the green flag of the ousted Gaddafi

regime. "Sirte has been liberated. There are no Gaddafi forces any more," said Colonel Yunus Al Abdali.

A number of high ranking Gaddafi officials are also reported to have been caught including his spokesman Moussa Ibrahim and his cousin Ahmed Ibrahim. "We hope that we are catching some big names so we can put them in the court and let the people have the last word on their fate," Shamman said.

Muammar Gaddafi has been captured fleeing Sirte, according to unconfirmed reports by some National Transitional Council officials. The NTC's information minister, Mahmoud Shamman, refused to confirm the reports, but said "big fish" are on their way to Misrata. Gaddafi is reported to have been critically injured in both legs while being detained. "Don't shoot, don't shoot," he is reported to have said. We cannot confirm that he has been captured.

Al Jazeera is now reporting that Gaddafi was killed in Sirte. Reuters is saying that Gaddafi died of his wounds. We cannot confirm this.

Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte falls to NTC

Libyan forces take full control of city, with loyalists of former leader fleeing after weeks of fighting

Libyan National Transitional Council fighters say they have captured the last positions held by Muammar Gaddafi's loyalists in the deposed leader's hometown of Sirte.

"Sirte has been liberated. There are no Gaddafi forces any more," Colonel Yunus Al Abdali, head of operations in the
eastern half of the city, said on Thursday.

"We are now chasing his fighters who are trying to run away."

Another front line commander confirmed the capture of the Mediterranean coastal city, which was the last remaining



significant bastion of pro-Gaddafi fighters almost three months after the former leader was overthrown by NTC forces.

The AP news agency reported that the final push to capture the final parts of the city began around 0800 local time and was over after about 90 minutes.

Fighters on the ground did not allow reporters to enter the positions formerly held by the Gaddafi loyalists as they said mopping up operations were still under way.

Reuters reported sound of shooting could be heard coming from the west of the city.

Al Jazeera’s James Bays, reporting from Tripoli, said a convoy of 100 cars is heading West to Misrata from Sirte.

"It is yet not clear who is in the convoy but some of the fighters say high levels of Gaddafi regime are part of it," he said.

Events are rapidly unfolding and Al Jazeera sources are saying that Gaddafi might have been killed.

Celebratory gunfire

At least 16 pro-Gaddafi fighters were captured, along with multiple cases of ammunition and trucks loaded with weapons. They were beaten up and later taken away in the back of trucks.

Hundreds of NTC troops have been surrounding Gaddafi’s last bastion in a deadly struggle that exacted a heavy toll on human lives.

NTC fighters said there were a large number of corpses inside the battle zones, but it was not immediately possible to verify the claim.

Celebratory gunfire were heard in the heart of the city, which fell into the hands of Libya's new rulers almost two full months after Tripoli was captured. Gunfire and car horns were blaring in Tripoli as celebrations started across the country.

Despite the fall of Tripoli on August 21, Gaddafi loyalists have been putting up a fierce fight in several areas, including Sirte, preventing Libya's new leaders from declaring full victory in the eight-month conflict.

Gaddafi, wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of ordering the killing

of civilians, has been hiding since he was toppled.

Earlier this week, fighters gained control of another stronghold, Bani Walid, and by Tuesday said they had squeezed Gaddafi's forces in Sirte into a residential area of about 700 square metres.

Al Arabiya

End of an era for Libya: Muammar Qaddafi is killed in Sirte Former Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi died of wounds suffered on Thursday as fighters battling to complete an eight-month-old uprising against his rule overran his hometown Sirte, Libya’s interim rulers said.

“We announce to the world that Qaddafi has been killed at the hands of the revolution,” Abdel Hafez Ghoga said, a spokesman for the National Transitional

Council said.

“It is a historic moment. It is the end of tyranny and dictatorship. Qaddafi has met his fate,” he added.

His killing, which came swiftly after his capture near Sirte, is the most dramatic single development in the Arab Spring revolts that have unseated rulers in Egypt and Tunisia and threatened the grip on power of the leaders of Syria and Yemen.

“He [Qaddafi] was also hit in his head,” National Transitional Council official Abdel Majid Mlegta told Reuters. “There was a lot of firing against his group and he died.”

National Transitional Council official said on Thursday the body of the deposed Libyan leader is being taken to a location which is being kept secret for security reasons.

“Qaddafi’s body is with our unit in a car and we are taking the body to a secret place for security reasons,” Mohamed Abdel Kafi, an NTC official in the city of Misrata told Reuters.

Mlegta told Reuters earlier that Qaddafi, who was in his late 60s, was captured and wounded in both legs at dawn on Thursday as he tried to flee in a convoy which NATO warplanes attacked. He said he had been taken away by an ambulance.

There was no independent confirmation of his remarks.

An anti-Qaddafi fighter said Qaddafi had been found hiding in a hole in the ground and had said “Don’t shoot, don’t shoot” to the men who grabbed him.

His capture followed within minutes of the fall of Sirte, a development that extinguished the last significant resistance by forces loyal to the deposed leader.

The capture of Sirte and the death of Qaddafi means Libya’s ruling NTC should now begin the task of forging a new democratic system which it had said it would get under way after the city, built as a showpiece for Qaddafi’s rule, had fallen.

Qaddafi, wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of ordering the killing of civilians, was toppled by rebel forces on August 23 after 42 years of one-man rule over the oil-producing North African state.

NTC fighters hoisted the red, black and green national flag above a large utilities building in the center of a newly-captured Sirte neighborhood and celebratory gunfire broke out among their ecstatic and relieved comrades.

Hundreds of NTC troops had surrounded the Mediterranean coastal town for weeks in

a chaotic struggle that killed and wounded scores of the besieging forces and an unknown number of defenders.

NTC fighters said there were a large number of corpses inside the last redoubts of the Qaddafi troops. It was not immediately possible to verify that information.

Today's News in Pictures: October 20th, 2011 - Moammar Ghaddafi declared dead  

by Al Arabiya English on Thursday, October 20, 2011 at 7:01am

A man purported to be former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi is seen in this still image taken from video footage October 20, 2011. Gaddafi was killed on Thursday as Libya's new leaders declared they had overrun the last bastion of his long rule, sparking wild celebrations that eight months of war may finally be over. Details of the death near Sirte of the fallen strongman were hazy but it was announced by several officials of the National Transitional Council (NTC) and backed up by a photograph of a bloodied face ringed by familiar, Gaddafi-style curly hair.

August 23 - The rebels overrun Qaddafi’s fortified Bab al-Aziziya compound in Tripoli, trashing the symbols of his rule.

I saw the body of Col. Muammar #Gaddafi. So weird. #Sirte #Libya.

I have been going to #Sirte every couple of days and was with an ambulance. They turned back toward Misrata from the field hosp.

We were in a residential area behind the field hospital. Suddenly an ambulance races by with the body of #Gaddafi. We chased. #Libya

The ambulance with #Gaddafi's body stopped very briefly at the field hospital, then hit the highway for Misrata. #sirte #Libya

10 Revolutionaries were packed inside. The doors were open, but it was difficult to see #Gaddafi. We drove close to the open door.

From the side door, I could see a bare chest with bullet wound and a bloody hand. He was wearing gold-colored pants. #Gaddafi #Libya

We fell back behind the ambulance and they opened rear the door to reveal a partly bald, bloody head with frizzy black hair. #Gaddafi

There is no question it was #Gaddafi. Every time the ambulance stopped, it was mobbed by rebels. Everyone was going nuts. #Libya

When they opened the back of the ambulance, a rebel truck went crazy and ran us off the highway at high speed. We crashed in a ditch. #Libya

One of the medics in our ambulance re-injured a wound from a mortar attack a couple weeks ago. He required immediate assistance. #Libya

We decided to make straight for Misrata and overtook the ambulance with #Gaddafi's body in it. #Sirte #Libya

At every checkpoint between #Sirte and #Misrata, crowds had gathered and wanted to know if we were the ambulance with #Gaddafi's body in it.

Upon hearing the truth, that #Gaddafi was truly dead, revolutionaries at the checkpoints were beside themselves, shouting with joy.

We didn't know they had #Gaddafi when we went behind the field hospital. We heard something about his son Muatassim. #Libya

Crowds lined the streets in #Misrata. A boy shouted in my window with a huge smile, "Where is Shafshufa (Frizzy Hair)?" #Libya

It looks like #Gaddafi was taken alive. Bloody, but alive, according to a video that three people have now shown me. #Libya

All I could think when I found out they had #Gaddafi was, "I am the only journalist who knows what happened. I have to get a photo." #Libya

I was a little afraid that this would turn into another undocumented rumor. That's why I chased the ambulance with #Gaddafi's body. #Libya

Tara Turkington

was #Gaddafi captured alive, do u think?

hollypickett Holly Pickett

 yes he was. i have seen cell phone videos of the rebels who captured him. he was bloody, but standing, and screaming.

Not sure where #Gaddafi's body went. It must have been to a very secure location. I think Misratans may have torn him to shreds.

I meant Misratans would tear him to shreds if the body wasn't closely guarded. #Libya. #Tweetingisnewtome

NATO

Rasmussen

20 Oct. 2011

Statement by the NATO Secretary General on Libya Press Release (2011) 128

Issued on 20 Oct. 2011

After 42 years, Colonel Qadhafi`s rule of fear has finally come to an end. Libya can draw a line under a long dark chapter in its history and turn over a new page. Now the people of Libya can truly decide their own future.

I call on all Libyans to put aside their differences and work together to build a brighter future.

I urge the National Transitional Council to prevent any reprisals against civilians and to show restraint in dealing with defeated pro-Qadhafi forces.

NATO and our partners have successfully implemented the historic mandate of the United Nations to protect the people of Libya.  We will terminate our mission in coordination with the United Nations and the National Transitional Council.  With the reported fall of Bani Walid and Sirte, that moment has now moved much closer.

My Classmate Saif Qaddafi Doug Flahaut Recounts Going to School With Muammar's Son “Hi. My name is Saif. I’m from Libya.” That’s how he introduced himself to his fellow graduate students during our first seminar at the London School of Economics and Political Science. We were all enrolled in the political philosophy program. Saif was better dressed and a little older-looking than most of us, but he didn’t otherwise stand out. LSE is a cosmopolitan school that attracts all sorts of students–even the sons of erratic North African strongmen

I reviewed many videos of G, he had a bullet to the left temple since he was captured, he cudnt survived that on the journey to hospital

in other words, I don't think he was killed on the way. but died because of his injuries.

the video with him wiping his forehead, showed the bullet hole.

if it was from close range, it the hole would have looked different.

Gadafi's skull would not be intact if he was shot in the head at close range. The wound suggests a spent bullet, pistol size caliber. #NTC
