Obama: Gaddafi death ends painful chapter
None
President Barack Obama says the death of Muammar Gaddafi marks the end of a long and painful chapter for Libya.
Speaking Thursday from the White House Rose Garden, the president says the Libyan people now have the opportunity to determine their own destiny. He says they also have a great responsibility to build a tolerant and democratic Libya. Obama did not independently confirm Gaddafi's death, and instead cited the fact that Libyan officials have announced his killing. (AP)
