Libyans express relief with Gaddafi capture
Description
One day after Muammar' Gaddafi's son, Saif al-Islam, was captured, Libyans are expressing a sense of relief.
Here in the western town of Zintan, where the 39-year-old is being held, residents say the capture finally brings the four-decade-long Gaddafi era to a close.

"He was an obstacle in the face of the Libyan people, he posed a great threat to the Libyan people."
Gaddafi - seen here in a turban and long robes - was captured over the weekend in desert of southern Libya.
The British-educated Gaddafi had been a senior member of his father's government.
He is facing allegations of crimes against humanity during Libya's brutal civil war.
Many rejoiced in his capture after months on the run.
"In this life, this is the fate of tyrants," says this man.
Fighters in Zintan have said they will hold Gaddafi until a new Libyan government is formed - something expected to happen within the next couple of days.
Senior Libyan officials plan to try Gaddafi on charges that could result in the death penalty.
But they remained vague about whether it would hand him over to the International Criminal Court, where he is facing a slate of charges.
