Government has reacted to the killing of deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi by expressing the hope that the latest events would lead to a cessation of hostilities and the restoration of peace.
The Presidency has urged the National Transitional Council of Libya to begin in earnest the process of building national unity and reconciliation as well as the disarmament of all combatants and their reintegration into society.
Reports from Sirte say Gaddafi was captured cowering in a drainage pipe full of rubbish and filth.
A rebel fighter called his end ironic, seeing that Gaddafi had often referred to those who opposed him as rats. Libyan officials also confirmed that one of Gaddafi’s sons, Muatassim, has been killed.
He had been hiding with his father. His brother and presumptive heir Seif al-Islam was wounded when he was captured and is recovering in hospital.
