" Colonel Ahmed Bani, the military spokesman of the National Transition Council, has confirmed to Al Jazeera that Muammar Gaddafi has been killed. Abdul Hakim Belhaj, an NTC military chief, said Gaddafi had died of his wounds after being captured near his hometown Sirte.
The body of the former Libyan leader was taken to a location which is being kept secret for security reasons, an NTC official said. "
A photograph taken on a mobile phone appeared to show Gaddafi heavily bloodied, but it was not possible to confirm the authenticity of the picture.
The news came shortly after the NTC captured Sirte, Gaddafi's hometown, after weeks of fighting.

"O you who believe! Fear ALLAH as He should be feared" [aal 'Imraan, 102]
Mujahideen? I don't know man, but why are NATO and USA, UK are so happy about this? Also israel is very happy with these men who liberated libya, i don't say Gadaffi was good but i'm afraid another puppet government will be placed. Insha'Allah not.
False hope, very false hope. Nato bombed libya to the stone ages tough with many civilians death, bloody hyenas. NTC is just another crap puppet government.
Over a few years the oil in libya will be gone. With so much support from the axis of evil, isn't right at all.
Yes akhi, Mujahideen. That's right. To be honest akhi, it took a while and a lot of evidence for me to give them that label. The west is very hypocritical in this matter, they were supporting him all these years, and when they saw that the Libyans rose up against the tyrant, they quickly jumped on the bandwagon. They are worried as much as they are happy about the news.
I am not having false hope akhi. NATO did bomb Libya, and the Mujahideen themselves confirmed that they bombed some of the rebels, and that's why the minister who gave info on their locations was executed cause of his betrayal. That is why, the future of Libya is really interesting. Did you know that brothers from all over the world traveled to Libya and joined the Mujahideen movement? From USA, UK, Australia( A Australian Sheikh was recently martyred while fighting).
The report that the evasive Libyan ruler Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has died as a result of the wounds he sustained during a NATO attack has flung the Libyans into a jubilant frenzy while it has provoked mixed reactions from the political observers who may eye the event with reasonable degree of suspicion.
"He (Gaddafi) was also hit in his head," National Transitional Council official Abdel Majid Mlegta told Reuters. "There was a lot of firing against his group and he died."
Mlegta also revealed that Gaddafi had been wounded in both legs at dawn on Thursday while he was trying to escape in a convoy bombarded by NATO warplanes. Does this mean that the NATO forces who were sure that Gaddafi was in the convoy did not want him alive? If so, why would they want him dead? To the NATO forces, a dead Gaddafi would be better than a living one indeed. Another report however says that Gaddafi was hiding in a hole in the ground and had said "Don't shoot, don't shoot" to the men who grabbed him. Anyone without the need for a capacious memory can bring to mind the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein when he was shown coming out a hole in a similar manner.
That Gaddafi has been captured or killed does not make very much difference so long as NATO is seen as the victors in this arena.
Undeniably, the presence of US forces under the umbrella of NATO casts serious doubt on the 'good intentions' of the forces fighting shoulder to shoulder with the rebels to liquidate Gaddafi and root out the remnants of his decadent family.
Earlier, the US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton had offered millions of dollars in new aid to Libya in a so-called token of goodwill, and had urged the new leadership in the country to commit to a retribution-free future.
"I am proud to stand here on the soil of a free Libya," Clinton said on a Tuesday visit to the capital, Tripoli. "The United States was proud to stand for you in your fight for freedom and we will continue to stand with you as you continue this journey."
But why is it that the good intentions of the US government are only lavished on oil-rich countries while Palestine was deplorably ignored by the US government when Israel started a three-week bombing and invasion in 2009 in an operation known to the Israelis as Operation Cast Lead and to the Palestinians as the Gaza Massacre during which Israel unleashed a bloodbath. According to reports, in January 2009, after seven days of bombing, some 9,000-10,000 Israeli troops made a brutal invasion of Gaza, killing over 1400 Palestinians with half of them being women and children. Over 3,300 were wounded, with an estimated 45 percent of them being women and children. What happened in Gaza was a merciless offence to the hearts, the minds and the ears. But, Washington was shamelessly silent. But where does all this strategic and political apartheid come from?
Conversely, the US is acutely alert to the developments in the region particularly in oil rich countries such as Libya. Now with the reported death of Gaddafi, the US will be able to use this as a shortcut to achieve the ulterior motive it has been harboring: getting its hands on Libyan oil.
The value of Libya's oil lies in its quality rather than in its quantity. The oil coming from Libya is generally described as sweet crude oil, which needs the least possible refinement while most oil coming from Saudi Arabia and other countries is of lesser quality.
The Cuban Revolution leader, Fidel Castro, has described NATO military campaign in Libya as a means for the US to invade and take control of the country's oil.
In an article named “NATO's Inevitable War,” Castro predicted that the military campaign of the US and NATO sprang from the sheer desire of getting “their hands on the northern African country's oil”.
In a similar vein, US Congressman Dennis Kucinich blamed Washington for seeking to take control of Libya's vast oil reserves by engaging in a military intervention.
"Was the United States, through participation in the overthrow of the [Libyan] regime, furthering the aims of international oil corporations in pursuit of control over one of the world's largest oil resources?"
"Did the United States at the inception of the war against Libya align itself with elements of al-Qaeda, while elsewhere continuing to use the threat of al-Qaeda as a reason for US military intervention, presence and occupation?" he added.
He also blasted the US government for perpetuating a war the resources of which “should be spent creating jobs in America and in building bridges in America.”
Hugo Chavez, Venezuela's president, has expressed a similar concern and said the intende goal of the US in invading Libya was to get oil.
He has reiterated that the United States is after the Libyan oil; the Libyan oil is driving them crazy. They were also after the Iraqi oil when they invaded that country.
Dead or alive, Gaddafi would hardly play a part in the developments the future has in store for the Libyan nation.
The question that arises here is: how can Gaddafi's death benefit the Libyans on their path to democracy?
With the West consolidating their foothold in the country and the US carving out the fate of the Libyans, there leaves little room for a bright horizon for the country until the people unite together and decide for themselves.

Please watch this, amazing subhan Allah. May Allah grant them a Honorable, a Glorious victory. Ameen! May the plots of the West foil and hit them where it hurts.
We need to accept the reality that this "victory" was only due to Nato intervention. The NTC had no chance without NATO. They were on the verge of defeat until Nato intervened and supplied them with weapons and consistantly bombed Regime targets.
But let us also realise that NATO did not intervene to "liberate" the Libyan people. They couldnt care less about them. Its funny how they are not "liberating" the Bahraini and Yemeni people who are being treated very brutally by the regimes. That is because they want to keep their puppets in power.
They only intervened in Libya for their own interests, so that they can play a major role to play in the new Libya. This is what the Libyans must be very aware of. They must do their utmost to ensure that Libyas future is shaped by Islam and not western secularism.
The west and Israel are very worried right now about the future of Libya of what they call "extreme" elements in the NTC or in other words they are worried about those who want Islam to shape the future of Libya. They are extremely worried about the future of those Arab nations experiencing recent uprisings.
They have already lost their puppets in Tunisia and Egypt and almost lost their puppet in Yemen. Their puppets in other nations are also at risk. These puppets give them peace of mind that Islam will not take hold as long as they are in power. But when they are ousted then that peace of mind will dissapear replaced with fear and uncertainty. The next targets for Israel and the West...Syria and Lebanon.
May Allah bring back Islam to all the Muslim nations. Ameen.

Libya would be like a new iraq, i'm sad because of brothers and sisters still see the good in what nATO is doing right there. This isn't going to help libya, believe me.
NATO bombed it already to the stone ages...if USA, UK, Israel thinks this is right, then a wise muslim must think that this is wrong

He should not have been killed. Gaddafi should have been put on trial. I find the images disturbing. The people that have killed him in this manner have learnt nothing and are just as bad as Obama, who ordered to kill Osama, without a fair trial. Anyway, hope the Libyans develop the system that they want.
I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.
With allied forces involved, it is most likely to be a puppet leader installed by them who will do their bidding. They didn't do all this to allow a state based on Islam in. Most likely a Muslim by name, with secular and pro-America values. But Allah knows best.
which "mujahideen" fight behind nato and the pentagon? they must be the new "new world order approved" "mujahideen".
especially after what's happened in Afghanistan and Iraq -along with abu graib, the Quran defilement, the rapings, and the torture.
And Saudi Arabian government "scholars"? come on you surely jest...............
i am aware he ("king" "abdullah") calls himself Khaadimul Haramain, and rightly so if the white house and downing street are haramain.
O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies as friends, showing affection towards them, while they have disbelieved in what has come to you of the truth, and have driven out the Messenger and yourselves because you believe in Allâh your Lord!
If you have come forth to strive in My Cause and to seek My Good Pleasure, (then take not these disbelievers and polytheists, etc., as your friends).
You show friendship to them in secret, while I am All-Aware of what you conceal and what you reveal.
And whosoever of you (Muslims) does that, then indeed he has gone astray from the Path.
.... Allâh does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allâh loves those who deal with equity. 9. It is only as regards those who fought against you on account of religion, and have driven you out of your homes, and helped to drive you out, that Allâh forbids you to befriend them.
And whosoever will befriend them, then such are the Zâlimûn (wrong-doers). 13. O you who believe! Take not as friends the people who incurred the Wrath of Allâh.
Surely, they have been in despair to receive any good in the Hereafter, just as the disbelievers have been in despair about those (buried) in graves.
Quran chapter 60
When one looks into the true facts behind the situation in Libya, Gaddafi's rule and the real purpose behind NATO's intervention then there is no doubt that things are not as they seem.The so called uprising was nothing more than a plot perpotrated by the west and Israel firstly to oust a regime that they were not in control of, secondly for its vast oil reserves and strategic location but the main reason for the intervention was because of currency. Gaddafi was in fact planning on creating a new African currency made of gold called the gold Dinar which would have rivalled the dollar and Euro and no doubt have shifted the economic balance of the world and would have actually meant that Africa would have become one of the richest continents in the world rather than the poorest.
Watch this short clip about the real reason for the intervention of NATO in Libya:
The west and Israel used the uprisings around the Arab world to stage an uprising in Libya in order to fulfil their agenda. Gaddafi hadmany links with western intelligence. He had links both open and undercover with the UK, the Us, Italy and many other countries. Britain was even supplying him with arms just earlier this year and stopped as soon as the "revolution" began. Blair even befriended him and told the world they should extend their hands to him. Look at the media campaign when the Iraq invasion was taking place. How they made Sadaam out to be like a monster when a few years before he was an ally to the west. Was Iraq liberated after Saddam got killed? Of course not. It is worse now than it has ever been and the situation is only getting worse. Unfortunately it is looking like Libya will meet the same fate. Outside forces will continue to try and de-stabilize it just like in Iraq and Pakistan.
Learn about Gaddafis links with western inteligence :
What exactly was the alleged "uprising" for? The situation in Libya is nothing like it was in Tunisia, Yemen or Egypt where there were no jobs or prospects. The Libyan people were provided with free healthcare, housing, education, their marriages were paid for, their businesses were set up for them, they had the cheapest fuel you can imagine, they had interest free loans, they had a share in the countrys wealth. They were able to practise Islam as much as they liked. Did you know how rich Libya was before the uprising? It was called the Switzerland of Africa. Its people were very well looked after.
Learn the truth about the situation in Libya before the alleged "uprisings":
When looking into the history of Gaddafis 40 year rule although he was not a role model for Muslims and made many mistakes and errors he cared more for his people than most leaders in this world. The overwhelming majority of Libyans loved and supported him. Does this look like a people who were against their leader:
This was also confirmed by jounalists who went to Libya during the beginning of the uprisings and confirmed that all they saw was Gaddafi supporters everywhere. Journalists also confirm that NATO targetted mainly civilian targets proving their aim was to destabilize Libya. What we are constantly being fed by the mainstream media is utter lies and deception.
He wasn't like other Arab leaders he wasnt scared to speak out, he always told it how it was and this is why most Arab leaders did not like him.
Watch how Gaddafi tells the truth infront of all the Arab leaders:
He certainly wasnt a puppet of the west like most of the Arab leaders are today. He didnt sell out his peolple out like scum like Saleh, Zardari and the Saudi monarchy. Israel and the west will try and ensure that Libya also has a leader that will sell out its people and become its puppet whilst they milk its oil reserves.
There is just so much dishonesty, hypocrisy and double standards in this world and the amount of lies we are being constantly fed by the mainstream media is unbelievable. They are conditioning our views and perceptions constantly all of the time. But the reality is very different.
Now learn the truth about the NATO intevention in Libya - Watch all 6 parts:
May Allah bring back truth and justice into the world and bring about true and just Muslim leaders who will not sell out its people and become puppets of the west. Ameen

yes you're correct about the popular support he had in his country brother hamzah:
1.7 million green flag waving pro-Gaddafi libyans rallying in tripoli is (WAS) around 95% of the population of tripoli - or almost a third of all libyans meeting there.
when the nato controlled "rebels" now shoot and kill pro-Gaddafi protesters - the western media refer to them as "gaddafi fighters" (despite them having only flags), or "insurgents" if they are armed.
funny they never used the term before.............
when they can't get enough protesters themselves - they show people in india waving indian flags .......... and pretend it's green square - libya!
Is Libya being bombed by bloody U.S. Zio thugs because Gaddafi wants to introduce gold dinar?
Publication time:
22 March 2011, 16:14
.......On this financial basis, Colonel Gaddafi offered to create a
single African state with Arab and Black African population numbering
200 million people.The idea of creating a single gold currency and uniting the countries of
Africa into one powerful federal system has been actively supported during the last year
by a number of Arabic and almost all African states.
Democracy-infested South Africa and the Arab League
opposed to the idea.
The US and the EU reacted very negatively to such a initiative.
According to a French Zio "president" Sarkozy:
"the Libyans have set on the financial security of mankind." Repeated calls by the Leader of the
Libyan Revolution yields some results: Gaddafi has made more and more
steps aimed at creating a United Africa. ....
.......
Sarkozy hints at military attack on Libya
French President Nicolas Sarkozy says Paris will lead an attack on Libyan territories in a bid to protect the civilian population and preserve human consciousness.
Speaking at a press conference, broadcast live by Press TV on Saturday afternoon, Sarkozy emphasized that
embattled Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi can “avoid the worst” if he respects UN resolution.
He also stressed that diplomatic doors will reopen in Libya if attacks end.
The remarks come as world leaders have gathered in Paris to discuss military action against Libya.
American, European and Arab leaders are attending the summit.
Brother salman, I agree that he was not an ideal Muslim leader,
He also apparently didn't like the idea of khilafah,
But what the NATO and pentagon want there is much worse (though Allah's wisdom and plan is best)
Usury was forbidden in Libya,
Now the the rothschilds have an open door.
The first act of the rebels, even before they established any authority - was to declare a central bank and an oil company.
Both were in the people's hands before.
he was also one of the only leaders in the region who refused to bow to zionist demands and always actively supported the Palestinians,
when morocco,tunisia, and egypt hounded the palestinian aid convoy and kept them away from civilian populations as they passed through, libya gave them an official greeting and held a celebration in every city they passed through, and then gave them a donation of another 100 loaded lorries (doubling the convoy) to take on their way- it was the ONLY Muslim country to allow them to speak freely and publicly.
watch this to understand:
it's an enlightening account of what happened - but if you're rushing - scroll to 3 min 25 seconds of part 3 ,
but maybe this is Allah (swt)'s way of totally separating Islam from kufr with nothing fancy in between - including socialism
socialism is now gone in Iraq - with only Islam or kufr remaining
socialism is gone from libya - with only Islam or kufr remaining
i wonder what the condition of Iran will be..............
peace
It's quite shameful that my post was deleted but whatever
Brother Abz, as far I'm concerned, he was not a Muslim, PERIOD. You can make all the excuses you want for him but instead of relying on our half baked conclusions based on media reports and our personal political theories maybe we should talk to Libyan brothers and sisters who shed their blood for this revolution and listen to what they have to say. Instead of being so negative about it and making excuses for a person like Gaddafi, why can't we be bit more positive and waste our energy and efforts on making dua' that Allah give rise to righteous people and fail all the plans of the kuffaar!!?
I also had my reservations about west's intervene and replacing Gaddafi with another corrupt ruler but what I have heard from trustworthy brothers/sisters that 90%+ people in the miliatry and high political posts are Islamists. So that gives me hope and forces me to remain postive and make dua. Even if that wasn't the case, we should still remain positive and make dua instead of bickering about it which bring no benefit to us and even dangerous for our own imaan. Why can't we have some tawakkul in Allah's Mercy and Plans?
I'm going to quote what two brothers said in another forum and with that I rest my case with Allah - I would rather waste my time and energy on pondering about my affairs and making dua for my Muslim brothers and sisters:
Most of the soldiers on the ground and the military leaders are what Europeans refer to as "Islamists". And they are kind of in the way of an all out kaafir domination of Libya. Allahu A'lam how things unfold next.
Ps. how come Muslims only see the negatives in every situation? Some Muslims are in a constant state of despair. When the Tawagheet are in power, they complain that the Ummah is not ready to take them out. When they are removed, they complain that things didn't go exactly according to how they imagined. Or they claim that we've merely exchanged one kufr with another, instead of looking at the positives which far outweigh any perceived negatives. We should be careful not be ungrateful towards Allah, He is the one who has decreed that this would be the outcome of the revolution. Things happen in stages, you can't expect that everything will go 100% according to your dreams.
I wonder how these Muslims would have reacted had they witnessed al-Hudaybiyyah.
We must all pray that NATO's plans backfire.
Pickthall
Verily they have plotted their plot, and their plot is with Allah, though their plot were one whereby the mountains should be moved.

Was completed built in 2009, Qaddafi Islamic Center funded by World Islamic Call Society, an Islamic organization in Libya that founded and funded by Moammar Qaddafi.
Latest news from QIC, hundreds people performed salat-ul gaib for Moammar Qaddafi.
That's a mosque? Looks ore like the entrance to a theme park.
Lol, I actually like the design of the mosque.
I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.
