Qaddafi is dead

Al Jazeera has acquired exclusive footage of the body of Muammar Gaddafi after he was killed in his hometown, Sirte.

Abdul Hafiz Ghoga, vice chairman of Libya's National Transitional Council, confirmed that the ousted leader had been killed on October 20, 2011 near Sirte.

"We announce to the world that Muammar Gaddafi has been killed at the hands of the revolutionaries," Ghoga told a news conference in Benghazi.

The news came shortly after the NTC captured Sirte after weeks of fighting.

Looks like Qaddafi to me

It could be anyone, the camerawork is so amateurish that it is difficult to tell. Oh, and there is that weird audio anomoly five seconds into the video.

Hugo Chavez described the murder of Gaddafi as “murder,” and said the Libyan leader will be remembered “as a great fighter, a revolutionary and martyr.”

“The story in Libya is just beginning. The Yankee empire cannot master the world. The empire and its allies are burning.”

Chavez said the NATO attack was an “excuse to seize a country and its riches. We know what will happen now… more fighting, and  more suffering for the people. This is the hand of capitalism. The USA cares nothing about the lives of the Libyan people.”

Cuba’sFidel Castro condemned the "genocide" and "monstrous crimes" committed by the United States and its NATO allies against Libya.

State-run news outlets in Venezuela and Zimbabwe expressed their solidarity with Qaddafi. Venezolana de Televisión reports that Qaddafi was "assassinated.” Agencia Venezolana de Noticias ridicules Western leaders (the "patrons of aggression against Libya") for invoking freedom and democracy while atacking Libya and installing puppet dictators.

The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation said Qaddafi's "anti western, anti imperialism approach" made him an "enemy of the west,” but won him "several allies across the African continent.”

Qaddafi's former nurse Oksana Balinskaya, who has returned to Ukraine, is mourning the loss of her former boss, whom she considers a "brave hero" for making a last stand in his hometown of Sirte. "Why should we hate him or think of him as tyrant, if he gave us jobs and paid us well?" she asks.

Now that Qaddafi is assassinated we will see real civil war in the country which NATO is hoping for. NATO ground troops will eventually be sent to Libya.

The target in this whole thing is Egypt. Egypt will be attacked from both  sides, israel one side and nato on the other.

I learned something yesterday all the embassies in Cairo are located on the east part of the nile except the israeli embassy. You know why Smile
