利比亚总理Mahmoud Jibril宣布，前国家领导人穆阿迈尔．卡扎菲已经死亡。

"We have been waiting, as Libyans, for this historic moment. Gaddafi has been killed. As to how and by whom he was killed, our experts are now investigating. And as soon as we have the results, we will announce them to everyone."

National Transitional Council fighters in Sirte have been celebrating after the capture of the city and the death of Colonel Gaddafi. A fighter loyal to Libya's interim authorities told the BBC he found the former Libyan leader hiding in a drainage culvert; he begged him not to shoot. Gabriel Gatehouse has been to the spot.
全国过渡委员会在苏尔特的战士庆祝攻下该城和卡扎菲上校的死亡，一名忠于利比亚过渡当局的战士告诉BBC，他在一处排水暗渠发现了这位利比亚前领导人，他乞求不要开枪。Gabriel Gatehouse已经前往事发地点。

Well, this is the place where they captured Colonel Gaddafi. He was hiding in that irrigation channel there that is now becoming an instant photo opportunity for all these fighters who have been battling for so long to capture the former Libyan leader. They say they discovered him here just before 12 o'clock this afternoon. They pulled him out of the hole. And one fighter told me that Muammar Gaddafi said to him "What did I do to you?" They've been parading his golden gun through the outskirts of Sirte. The people who are said to have been involved in his actual capture have become instant heroes. Arguments are breaking out over who actually did the work, who pulled him out of the hole.
这就是他们抓获卡扎菲上校的地方，他藏身的地方，原来是一个灌溉渠，现在成了这些战士给这位前领导人即时拍照的地方，为了抓获他已战斗很久。他们说，今天下午12点之前他们在这里发现了卡扎菲，他们把他从洞中拖出。一名战士告诉我，穆阿迈尔．卡扎菲问他“我对你做过什么吗？”他们拿着卡扎菲的金枪在苏尔特郊外炫耀。那名据说与此擒获直接有关的人迅速成为了英雄。他们争论着是谁把卡扎菲从洞中拖出的。 

A senior official told the BBC fighting throughout Libya was over. The Libyan transitional authorities say Colonel Gaddafi's son Mutassim has been killed and his other son Saif al-Islam arrested. The Libyan information minister said Mutassim Gaddafi, who was the former national security adviser, was killed after he was found hiding with his father.
一名高级官员告诉BBC，整个利比亚的战斗已经结束。利比亚过渡当局说，卡扎菲上校的儿子Mutassim已被杀，他的另一个儿子Saif al-Islam被捕。利比亚情报部长说，前国家安全顾问Mutassim Gaddafi被发现和父亲在一起，然后被杀。

President Obama has said that the death of Colonel Gaddafi marks the end of a long and painful chapter for the people of Libya. The president said four decades of what he called the "iron fist" of the Gaddafi regime had come to an end and the Libyan people now had a great responsibility to build a democratic country. For his part, the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called for national reconciliation.
奥巴马总统说，卡扎菲上校之死标志着利比亚人民漫长又痛苦的时代的终结。总统说，卡扎菲四十年的“铁拳”政权已经结束，利比亚人民现在负有建设民主国家的重大责任，联合国秘书长潘基文呼吁实现民族和解。

"Let us recognise, immediately, that this is only the end of the beginning. The road ahead for Libya and its people will be difficult and full of challenges. Now it's the time for all Libyans to come together. Libyans can only realise the promise of the future through national unity and reconciliation."
“让我们将这看做是开端的完结，摆在利比亚及其人民前面的路还很艰巨，充满了挑战。现在是所有利比亚人团结的时候了，利比亚人民只有通过国民团结和协调，才能实现对未来的承诺。”
