Gaddhafi killed by rebel forces
End of 42-year reign
Rebel soldiers killed Col. Muammar Gaddhafi in his hometown of Sirte, Libya, on Oct. 20, ending his 42-year reign over the North African country.
Civil war broke out across the country in February, sparking heightened international interest about affairs in Libya. Several Western countries supported the uprising, with America becoming involved as part of NATO efforts, which included “no-fly” zone over the country.
At the beginning of the brutal civil war, America announced sanctions against Libya.
The details surrounding the circumstances of Gaddhafi’s death have been clouded with mystery and conflicting reports, but some sources say a NATO bomb forced the ruler and his entourage from their underground hiding place .
Videos released by rebel forces show soldiers beating and taunting Gaddhafi.
His body was later put on public display in the city of Mistrata.
Currently Libya is under the leadership of Prime Minister Abdurrahim el-Keib.

The Arab spring that awoke in lands throughout North Africa and the Middle East was a sight to behold. The spigot of unrest was too powerful, the energy too spontaneous, the movement too organic for any government to turn off.
Seasons of discontent were reversed by the keyboard clicking and smart phone tapping of a youthful generation expressing their exuberance in 140 characters on Twitter, and organizing movements of shared struggle on Facebook fan pages.
The decision to elevate the assault on Libya and its leader, Muammar Gaddafi, has some very chilling forecasts for normalizing relations with Muslims in America. Libya is involved in a civil war for which no vital American interests are at stake. Libya only controls 2 percent of the world’s oil, of which the United States is not highly invested. The destabilization of Libya now threatens the stabilization of the whole Middle East region. Yet the United States can’t resist invading another Muslim nation.
People often describe me as troubled. I’m not going to say that I’m not. But I’m not crazy. I have troubles. A lot of us do. But you need to understand where I’m coming from and why I am the way I am. Considering what I’ve been through, it’s a miracle that I’ve been able to hold it together. I’m just trying to find my way. [I’ve read newspaper stories about me that] say, “Experts testify [that boy] is psychotic.” The way they describe me is wrong—bi-polar, depression, pyro, whatever. I know I’m not at all.
