Gaddafi is dead. Sad that it came to it, but I am not surprised. He was likely taken out and simply executed.
Regardless, this is the beginning of the end for the war in Libya. Without a leader, they will surely break apart. A bloody victory for the Arab Spring, but it is a victory. We now look to Yemen and Syria. This has gone on all year. It started in January, and it won't be over until the fat lady sings.
