Qaddafi Killed, Say Libyan Officials
Quote:3:20 pm ET: Reuters photographer Thaier al-Sudan has images of a destroyed convoy of pro-Qaddafi forces in Sirte and another image of the concrete drain were Qaddafi was reportedly hiding. Earlier today, a Sky News correspondent had translated some of the graffiti on the drain as saying: "This is the place where the rat Gaddafi was hiding."

Quote:2:39 pm ET: More from President Obama's remarks on Qaddafi's death via the AP: "The dark shadow of tyranny has been lifted," Obama said. "And with this enormous promise, the Libyan people now have a great responsibility."

2:28 pm ET, In Brief So Far: On Thursday, Libyan rebel forces wrested control of Qaddafi's hometown Sirte, from pro-Qaddafi forces. The former dictator, who at one point appeared to be hiding in a concrete pipe, was killed. Al Jazeera and Reuters then both published very graphic videos and still shots showing a dead Muammar Qaddafi, who appeared to be dragged through the streets. His body was reportedly taken to Misrata. Qaddafi sons Mutassim and Seif al-Islam were also reportedly killed in the fighting.
