of the country from the forty two year rule of colonel gadhafi who was gunned down under suspicious circumstances while fleeing the city of sirte on thursday the incident sparked international calls for an investigation with the geishas the alsa believe believes it was lynched by a mob of rebel fighters the league's video portrays a man boasting that he shot gadhafi twice during his capture the claim was supported by a post-mortem was discovered two bullet holes in the colonel's body the country's nudgee to hold elections within the next eight months trying to constitution and form a new government however the post could have a future looks and certain as ethnic and tribal divisions emerge among the bill's once united and revolution parties in the sinhalese in tripoli was a model. not too long ago. and hogges now it's his head. and his family and a lot of. foreign involvement in fact that were true it was a great deal you also learned a lot of good. with western powers. graphic gruesome footage of kidnapping he went
10:02 pm
viral as news of his death spread after months of being number one i made a list under the banner humanitarian mission. we came we saw he died. and he see claims he was killed in crossfire but i didn't video begs to differ here clearly wiping one from his head then clearly get a good look at the footage shown on t.v. proves that he was captured alive and wounded and also that he was killed. total pressure is growing for an investigation for find out if he died as clinton put it or was executed the un human rights organization should all push not only for investigation. and certainly the lynching of many of the libyan

members of the. support. but also the bombings that inflicted in libya that destroyed so many of libya's infrastructure and also so many libyan civilians who died in the u.s. who were killed in the first three alliance officials claim the mission in libya is coming through manned the no fly zone will be reviewed at the u.n. security council but many believe this is only the end of gadhafi and the beginning of a new era of my space libya is in for a period of horrendous chaos after the nato bombing that's brought parts of libya back to the stone age some say the race for the country's oil has gone france is already demanding thirty five percent of libya's gross national gross oil production and i suspect that the people of libya will be furious. outraged that
10:04 pm
they are paying france for having the infrastructure having destroyed the schools the hospitals the the water supply and the country united in hatred for the down feet might not stand together now that he's gone all these these different groups and they were held together but one thing that was pretty that's gone away and you can redirect their anger at each other and i think of pathos and susan political instability there's a lot of people looking back on libya. and changing we're back now and that is not a great celebration continued throughout the week cross the country and it seems few people here are really thinking about the future of libya without gadhafi it really means for a country with no leader a lot of weapons and even more oil reporting from tripoli and he's now a r.t. . and he says also keeping us updated with the latest from tripoli online just head
