(Below are two graphic videos first aired on Al Jazeera showing what is apparently Qaddafi's last moments alive, following his capture by rebels.)

(CBS News) WASHINGTON - French warplanes and a U.S. Predator drone on Thursday morning attacked a giant convoy of more than 100 four-wheel drive vehicles fleeing west out of Muammar Qaddafi's hometown of Sirte.
CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports the convoy tried to evade the aircraft by splitting into smaller parts, but at least 15 of them were hit and their occupants killed. The vehicle, which turned out to be carrying Qaddafi, was damaged but not destroyed. Qaddafi and his bodyguards abandoned the vehicle and took cover in drainage pipes running under the highway where they were cornered by a band of anti-Qaddafi fighters.
Already festooned with graffiti, it is where Qaddafi, who once lived in splendor, made his last stand. Who shot him is still a mystery. According to one account, it was his own bodyguards, one of whom can be seen lying dead on the ground -- presumably to spare him from being captured. Grandiose to the end, Qaddafi was armed with a golden pistol, which is now a prize trophy for rebels who eight months ago didn't stand a chance against one of the world's most repressive regimes.
As the gruesome video below shows, Qaddafi was taken alive and handled roughly. Whether he would have survived his wounds with better treatment is not known. One of his sons was also killed Thursday and another reported captured. With most of Qaddafi's inner circle either dead, captured or in exile, NATO -- after flying more than 26,000 missions -- can now end its bombing campaign. That could happen as soon as tomorrow although reconnaissance flights are likely to continue a while longer.
Now comes the hard part - establishing a democratic form of government in a country that has known nothing but Qaddafi for the past four decades.

from what i hear, people here often forget that what mr. hun sen said or not said is his personal remark, why people have to live by other's personal opinion? his words aren't the rule of law, if you are smart, keep bringing up the rule of law instead, don't mind too much about what he said, she said, really! that's called being smart, too, stop being a stupid followers all the time, stop and think for yourself, ok! stop being stupid forever, really! and stop giving one individual too much power and value, especially his or her words. just listen, but toss out what is unimportant, don't be a zombies forever, ok! use your god given brain cells, ok, unless your brain cells are damaged or destroyed by your using of illegal street drugs, then that's a different story altogether, ok! the say you are what you eat, so true in a way, really!
