We have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Moammar Gadhafi has been killed
— Libyan Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril
Moammar Gadhafi, who ruled Libya with a dictatorial grip for 42 years until he was ousted by rebels in a bloody civil war, was killed Thursday when revolutionary forces overwhelmed his hometown, Sirte, the last major bastion of resistance two months after the regime fell.
