Muammar Gaddafi has been killed after Libyan rebels captured his stronghold in the city of Sirte, it was confirmed today.
As news of his death swept through the country and across the world, bloody images of the 69-year-old tyrant slumped across the legs of a revolutionary fighter emerged.
He had been dragged from a storm drain where he was hiding before being shot in front of a baying mob. Rebel fighters described him begging for mercy.
Libya's prime minister Mahmoud Jibril this afternoon confirmed the former dictator was dead.
'We have been waiting for this moment for a long time,' he said. 'Muammar Gaddafi has been killed'
The new was also welcomed by David Cameron who said he was 'proud' of the role Britain had played in protecting Libyan civilians.
Gaddafi is the first leader to be killed in the Arab Spring wave of popular uprisings that swept the Middle East
The revolutionary offensive began around 8am local time and progressed quickly into the town centre.
Gaddafi had been barricaded in with his heavily armed loyalists in the last few buildings they held west of the central Green Square.
Nato airstrikes and revolutionary ground forces concentrated on a compound in that area of the town.
National Transitional Council (NTC) soldiers said that a convoy of at least five vehicles tried to leave the town in the early morning, but it came under sustained fire - first from a Hellfire missile and then from French fighters jets which were part of the Nato force.
The vehicles were forced to return to the loyalist-controlled area as battle continued.



A fighter points to the concrete pipe where Gaddafi was reportedly found. Arabic graffiti in blue reads: 'This is the place of Gaddafi, the rat. God is the greatest':

I see on CNN the people are lining up to see his body. They're passing out the masks, so he must be stinky! Nothing so satisfying as the rotting, bloated corpse of a deposed despot. To the Libyans, it probably smells like the sweet roses of freedom!
