Libyans have been elated over the demise of Gadhafi, who ruled the country for 42 years with an iron fist before he was overthrown in August. Authorities say a Liberation Day will be marked this weekend in the eastern city of Benghazi, where the rebellion first erupted. Officials plan to appoint a new interim prime minister who will establish a cabinet over the next month.
Also Friday, the international community reflected on the end of the Gadhafi regime.
"Our military played a critical role in shaping a situation on the ground in which the Libyan people can build its own future," President Barack Obama said Friday, referring to the U.S. role in the NATO operation in Libya.

Amid the jubilation, international agencies have raised issues over various and sometimes conflicting accounts of Gadhafi's death, with shaky video images separately showing a wounded but living Gadhafi and, later, his corpse, an apparent bullet wound in his head.
"As you are aware, there are at least two cell phone videos, one showing him alive and one showing him dead," the U.N. human rights group said Friday. "Taken together, these videos are very disturbing."
