NATO called an end to its air war in Libya, and the clan of Moammar Gadhafi demanded a chance to bury the body that lay on display in a meat locker after a death as brutal and chaotic as his 42-year rule.
In a statement on a Syria-based pro-Gadhafi television station, the ousted dictator's family asked for the bodies of Gadhafi, his son Mo'tassim, and others who were killed on Thursday after rebel fighters overran his hometown Sirte, effectively ending the conflict.
"We call on the UN, the Organization of the Islamic Conference and Amnesty International to force the (National) Transitional Council to hand over the martyrs' bodies to our tribe in Sirte and to allow them to perform their burial ceremony in accordance with Islamic customs and rules," the statement said.
