" 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]
Gaddafi was killed today by the hands of Libiyan freedom fighters, putting an end to his 41 years of leadership. Today, Libya celebrates with joy like never before. I'm speechless, share your views here.
Is this actually confirmed though? It seems as though I'm reading conflicting information. Some news sources say that he was captured and shot in his two legs and taken away but they didn't know if he was dead or not. In any case, ALLAHU AKBAR! May Allah help the Libyans rebuild their country.
Apparently they shot him - I saw some poor footage of his body being dragged through the street however you can't see where his wounds are but there is blood - it was pretty barbaric..
Just hope the new libya is built upon Islam. Inshallah it will be.
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.

This is a clear message for mankind in order that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is only One God, and that those of understanding may take heed (14:52)
Indeed Allah knows, and you know not (16: 74, part)

Over a few years people will guess where the oil is With so much NATO/West involved, i think there is gonna be another fake democracy. but i hope the best for libya Insha'Allah it will be based on islam, but it's unlikely.
Also consider that NTC estabilished a bank after a week the NTC was created.

It is very hypocritical of western governments to be praising his death when they befriended him and even set up arms deals for which Britain only pulled out of at the beginning of the revolution. He had both open and undercover ties with many western nations.
There is no doubt that Nato didnt intervene for no reason but that they want a big stake in the new Libya. The so called liberation is just a path of entry for secularism and the eradication of Islamic values.
Let us hope the Libyan people ensure that Islam plays a major role in the new Libya. Let us also hope Islam plays a major role in all the new Arab governments resulting from the uprisings. Ameen

ukht alkareemah, NTC has no control over the Mujahideen fighting in Libya. 90% of the fighters are Mujahideen and fighting to establish Islamic state. I know few brothers and sisters who have relatives there and they themselves confirmed this. NTC indeed called for secular government, and the West is really worried about Libya, because of all the Islamic factions. It is going to be interesting, but the Glory is for Islam, and the Believers.

Since when is the spilling of the blood of a Muslim celebrated.Im not defending Gadhafi's actions...weather a tyrant or a mu'min...the shedding of Muslim blood is not taken lightly. Some say he wasnt Muslim but since when are we qualified to make such Fatwa!? SubhanALLAH whats wrong with the Ummah now a days

Are you kidding me? "MUSLIM" blood?
He died a Kafir, he was a Kafir, and the Ulema gave fatwa on his kufr long time ago. Saying he was a Muslim, is an insult to all the Scholars who made takfir on him for his Kufr Bawah.
Saudi scholars support Libyan uprising - Arab News
JEDDAH: Saudi scholars have declared their support for the ongoing people’s struggle against Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi and expressed their concern at the violence unleashed by forces loyal to the embattled administration.
The scholars made their position clear while responding to a recent statement by Qaddafi’s son Seif Al-Islam that before “the rebellion started, some religious preachers and scholars used to visit Libya to lick the boots of the Libyan leader.”
Member of the Saudi Council of Senior Religious Scholars Sheikh Saleh Al-Lehaydan denied that he ever issued a fatwa condemning the Libyan protesters for opposing Qaddafi.
Another scholar, Sheikh Aed Al-Qarni, said that he visited Libya last year to converse with common people in mosques and not to praise Libyan rulers.
“The bloodshed should be stopped. Qaddafi’s government is not Islamic. He is an usurper who rebelled against the Sanusi king about four decades ago and never received the oath of allegiance of the people,” said Al-Lehaydan.
The scholar added that Qaddafi is an evil conqueror who rejected the sayings of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and argued that the Holy Qur’an was enough for them. He added that Qaddafi also refused to accept the ijma (consensus) of the Companions and Muslims on Islamic matters.
“He is not an imam (leader) or a true Muslim, but a vulgar ignorant Bedouin, an arrogant man with military power,” he added.
He urged Libyans to bring down Qaddafi peacefully. “You strive to drive him out without bloodshed, not damaging the lives and property of individuals or the government. The public security should not be disrupted. He and his cohorts should be removed without bloodshed if possible,” he said.
An alleged fatwa from Salafi scholars aired by an official Libyan radio station stated that anyone fighting against Qaddafi would die as a Kharijite (a seditionist against the Islamic establishment), no funeral prayers would be said for him and the body would not be washed ritually.
Al-Lehaydan said the fatwa is a forgery because no fatwa could be issued in favor of Qaddafi. “On the other hand, anyone who dies for reaffirming the Shariah and the truth is a martyr,” the scholar said.
Al-Qarni said Al-Saedi Qaddafi, another son of the Libyan leader, demanded in a recent telephone call that the Saudi scholar denounce the current Libyan revolution. He said Al-Saedi might have been scheming to influence the Libyan public with biased statements from influential religious leaders in the Arab World.
“What Al-Saedi wants from me is to condemn the current protests against his father’s misrule,” he said.
He said Al-Saedi also told him that the Libyan protesters were infiltrators and drug addicts.
“I replied to him that he was killing women and children. Ben Ali and Mubarak also spoke like him, saying that infiltrators were causing trouble in their countries. First you stop armed attacks against the Muslim people. You stop oppression,” Al-Qarni said.
He also said that Qaddafi squandered Libya’s rich resources on stupid whims. “Qaddafi banned the Holy Qur’an and Sunna and replaced them with his Green Book,” the Saudi scholar said, adding that international organizations should make a concerted effort to help the Libyan people, who are heading for a humanitarian crisis.

This is in Bani Walid, not too long ago.
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.

Let us not get into a debate about whether or not he or any other Muslim died a kaafir or not. Scholars can make whatever takfeer they like, at the end of the day Allah knows best and only he knows what is in the hearts and only he has the final decision, for we are no one to debate which Muslim died a kaafir or not. It is best to say Allah knows best.
And Allah knows best in all matters
