Gadhafi, 69, was there directing resistance fighters who have defended the country against an imperialist-engineered civil war and bombing campaign. The war has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Libyans and other foreign nationals. The Libyan state and its supporters have heroically held out for eight months and are still waging a struggle to reverse the counterrevolution financed and coordinated by the U.S.-NATO governments.

Just two days prior to Gadhafi’s assassination, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in Libya, meeting with the “rebel” National Transitional Council regime and calling for his capture and killing. There have been several attempts on Gadhafi’s life since the beginning of the March 19 bombing campaign. Gadhafi’s son and three grandchildren were killed in one of them, when their residence came under attack by imperialist warplanes. It has been reported that another one of Gadhafi’s sons, Mo’tassim, was captured and executed, purportedly by the NTC rebels, on Oct. 20.

Stories reported by the NTC spokesperson illustrated the inherently dishonest character of the U.S.-NATO rebels. They initially said Gadhafi was killed in a crossfire involving loyalist forces and the NTC rebels. However, this fabrication quickly evaporated when a video shot by someone in the lynch mob showed that Gadhafi was alive when apprehended and extrajudicially killed.
