Libyan National Transitional Council fighters say they have captured the last positions held by Muammar Gaddafi's loyalists in the deposed leader's home town 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.
"We are now chasing his fighters who are trying to run away."

Libya's new rulers are headed towards a political battle with unclear rules, the National Transitional Council's deputy head warned on Wednesday amid fears of a power struggle.
"We are heading towards a political battle but the rules of the game are not clearly defined," Mahmud Jibril told a meeting of former rebel forces to discuss the establishment of a new state based on the rule of law.
"We went from a national battle to a political battle, and this should not have happened before the creation of a state," Jibril said.
He warned against what he called "the frightening scenario of... (plunging into) chaos".
The meeting comes amid growing fears that the ouster of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi who ruled over Libya for 42 years could spark a power struggle between Libya's numerous tribes, Islamists and liberal figures.
3 hours 5 min ago
Mahmoud Jibril, the National Transitional Council's deputy head, has said that ousted leader Muammar Gaddafi is believed to be recruiting fighters from other African countries and preparing for a possible counter-revolution, hoping to destabilise Libya's new government.
Wednesday's comments by Mahmoud Jibril reflected fears that Gaddafi will be able to use friendly relations with neighboring countries cultivated during his more than four decades in power to help him launch a bid to return to power.
“Reports have shown that 68 vehicles with at least eight fighters each crossed the Libyan borders to Mali and Gaddafi is hiding in the southern desert,'' Jibril told reporters.
He said Gaddafi 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”.
(from TV)
ProGadaffi forces captured trying to flee Sirte, and his cousin, Achmed Ibrahim, is also in rebel hands.
Re this 100 car convoy, the NTC are considering maybe some of Gadaffi's sons, even Gadaffi himself, are in that convoy. NATO is assisting to try and stop the convoy to allow the rebels to search the cars. As soon as I get a video on you tube I will post it. LL

I think we see that it [Sirte] is liberated. I think the celebrations in Sirte are going on right now..

Of the people we capture, we are going to put them on trial, we won't hang them in the street. We will give them a free trial that they never gave to the Libyan people.

It seems he was caught in a NATO airstrike? Poetic justice, if so.

Looks like the pro-Gs tried a breakout and NATO disabled the convoy.
LATEST: Gadaffi has died of wounds sustained in the NATO/Rebel attack
Latest from al Jazeera sources is that he was killed in a gun-battle, he was not in the break-out convoy.

Re: GADDIFI TOPPLED!!!!!TRIPOLI CELEBRATING!!!!!!!!
Ah - that was rather a foolish move.
Sky are saying he has died, too, which is a pity in many ways, but on the other hand, he cannot be any kind of rallying point.
I frankly didn't think he would be captured - I hoped he would, but I thought it was going to turn into another Bin Laden situation.

Libyan officials and NATO say they cannot confirm reports from revolutionary fighters that Muammar Gaddafi was captured or killed in the fall of his hometown.
The Misrata Military Council, one of multiple command groups for revolutionary forces, says its fighters captured Gaddafi in Sirte. Another commander, Abdel-Basit Haroun, says Gaddafi was killed when an airstrike hit a convoy trying to flee.
The spokesman for Libya's transitional government, Jalal al-Gallal, and its military spokesman Abdul-Rahman Busin say the reports have not been confirmed. A NATO official also said the alliance could not independently confirm.

Muammar Gaddafi died of wounds suffered in his capture near his hometown of Sirte on Thursday, a senior NTC military official told Reuters.
National Transitional Council official Abdel Majid Mlegta told Reuters earlier that Gaddafi was captured and wounded in both legs at dawn on Thursday as he tried to flee in a convoy which NATO warplanes attacked.
"He was also hit in his head," the official said. "There was a lot of firing against his group and he died." There was no independent confirmation of his remarks.
Libyan state TV and Al Jazeera sources also report that Gaddafi was killed in Sirte.

Libyan transitional forces commander told Reuters Moussa Ibrahim, former spokesman for Muammar Gaddafi's fallen government, was captured near the city of Sirte on Thursday.
Abdul Hakim Al Jalil, commander of the 11th brigade, also said he had seen the body of the chief of Gaddafi's armed forces, Abu Bakr Younus Jabr. "I've seen him with my own eyes," he said and showed Reuters a picture of Jabr's body.
"Moussa Ibrahim was also captured and both of them were transferred to (our) operations room." [Reuters]

Re: GADDIFI TOPPLED!!!!!TRIPOLI CELEBRATING!!!!!!!!
Yes, you can see it in the faces of the Libyan people - announcing he was going to slaughter the citizens of Benghazi wasn't such a good idea, was it?
As for Moussa Ibrahim - what an idiot; after Comical Ali demonstrating how to survive the fall of the dictator who employs you, I would have thought he had more sense.
He surely didn't actually believe the rubbish he was spouting, did he?

Re: GADDIFI TOPPLED!!!!!TRIPOLI CELEBRATING!!!!!!!!
Sky is now showing stills of what appears to be Gaddafi's body - they are fairly horrific.
Not, however, as horrific as the residents of Scottish villages finding the broken bodies of children in their gardens courtesy of Gaddafi.
ETA, one still, taken with a mobile phone:
It certainly looks like him.
