Muammar Gaddafi Killed

Yesterday marked an end to a brutal era in Libyan history. Muammar Gaddafi was killed in his hometown of Sirte by the rebel troops. He was taken from a large concrete pipe where he was hiding. He was captured and killed shortly after the rebel discovery. After the announcement of Gaddafi’s death, the excitement could not be contained in the streets of Tripoli.

The killing of Gaddafi ends an era for Libyans that I am sure they would love to forget. Now that he is dead, the war is over in Libya. Peace can finally come about and the National Transition Council can take over the power of the Libyan government. It will be interesting to see how policy will change and how much security Libya has now achieved since their tyrant leader has been killed.
