Gaddafi death: The bloody birth of a new Libya
By Jeremy Bowen
BBC Middle East editor, Tripoli
The death of Muammar Gaddafi has removed a big problem for this country's transition rulers. It has also imbued the new Libya with original sin it may regret.
The leaders of the National Transitional Council (NTC) during the months of the fight against the colonel often spoke about building a country based on rights, not revenge.
The NTC will be perpetually placed on a dilemma on how they dealt with Gaddafi. They can't bring back Gaddafi. He is dead. He is buried in a dessert when it will be kept secret. This is the fruit of a revolution, bewildering moment.
It is a situation that one will find perplexing.
