WARNING: EDIT CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIDEO / EDIT CONTAINS VIDEO THAT COULD NOT BE INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED BY REUTERS
After eight months of war, celebrations broke out across Libya with the news Muammar Gaddafi is dead.
National Transitional Council officials announced the 69-year-old former Libyan leader had been killed near Sirte - although details were hazy.
Amateur video that could not be independently verified by Reuters purportedly shows footage of Gaddafi's body being dragged by NTC fighters.
