Libyan forces celebrate the capture of Muammar Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte.
There are conflicting and unconfirmed reports that the deposed leader has been captured or killed.
A National Transitional Council official told Reuters Gaddafi was killed in a firefight.
The capture of Sirte means the NTC can now begin the task of forging a new democratic system, which it had said it would get underway once the city built as a showpiece for Gaddafi's rule had fallen.
