TRIPOLI, Libya — Moammar Gadhafi , the former Libyan strong-man who fl ed into hiding after an armed uprising toppled his regime two months ago, met a violent death Thursday in the hands of rebel fi ght-ers who stormed his fi nal strong-hold in his Mediterranean home-town Sirte.

Al-Jazeera television showed gruesome footage of what appeared to be Gadhafi , alive but wounded and bloody, being dragged around by armed men in Sirte. A separate television clip also showed his half-naked corpse, with lifeless open eyes and an apparent gunshot wound to the side of the head, as jubilant fi ghters fi red automatic weapons in the air.

Confl icting accounts emerged about whether Gadhafi was sum-marily executed, died from gunshot wounds, died from a NATO bomb blast or bled to death in an ambu-lance. But the images broadcast by Al-Jazeera punctuated an emphatic and violent ending to his four de-cades as a ruthless and bombas-tic autocrat who had basked in his reputation as the self-styled king of kings of Africa.

“We have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Moammar Gadhafi has been killed,” Mahmoud Jibril, the prime minister of the in-terim government, told a news con-ference in Tripoli.

Mahmoud Shammam, the chief spokesman of the National Transi-tional Council, the interim govern-ment that replaced Gadhafi 's regime after he fl ed Tripoli in late August, said:“This is the day of real libera-tion. We were serious about giving him a fair trial. It seems God has some other wish.”

Libyan television also reported that one of Gadhafi 's feared fugitive sons, Muatassim, was killed in Sirte, showing what it said was his lifeless bloodied body on a hospital gurney.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned Pakistan on Thursday to eradicate terrorist safe havens inside its borders, saying there would be a “very big price” for inaction against militant groups staging attacks in Afghanistan.

Clinton’s tough words for Pakistani leaders came as an unusually large delegation of U.S. offi cials, led by Clinton, converged on the capital to urge Pakistani offi cials to take on the Haqqani network, a Pakistan-based Afghan militant group blamed for assassinations of Af-ghan leaders and a brazen attack last month on the U.S. Embassy in Kabul.

“We will be delivering a very clear message to the gov-ernment of Pakistan and to the people of Pakistan,” Clinton told reporters during a stopover in

Afghanistan for meetings with President Hamid Karzai “There should be no support, and no safe havens, for terrorists any-where who kill innocent women and children.”

U.S. offi cials have accused Pakistan of tolerating and, in some cases, supporting Haqqani clan members in a string of vi-olent attacks against U.S. and Afghan forces in Afghanistan, a charge Pakistan denies.

While insisting that both countries share a responsibil-ity for fi ghting terrorism, Clin-ton hinted of consequences for Pakistan if the government fails to do more to stop attacks ema-nating from the Pakistani side of the border.

“No one should be mistaken about this being allowed to con-tinue without the paying of a very big price,” Clinton said.

She said Islamabad’s leaders “must be part of the solution,

WASHINGTON — Declar-ing the end of a tyrant’s reign, U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday cast the demise of Moammar Gadhafi as a momen-tous opportunity for Libya and its long-suffering people. “You have won your revolution,” he told them.

“One of the world’s longest-serving dictators is no more,”

Obama said as news of Gadhafi ’s death and apparent images of his body took hold across the globe.

Obama claimed no personal vindication for his approach to U.S. intervention. But he hailed the success of the NATO effort that was intended to protect civil-ians and eventually helped force Gadhafi from power.

President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner seems likely to cruise to reelection when Argentines head to the polls this Sunday.

With Brazil’s Dilma Rousseff and Costa Rica’s Laura Chinchilla at the helm of their nations and Michelle Bachelet capturing the Chilean presidency in 2006, it might seem that Latin American women have really cracked the glass ceiling and come into their own politically.

Since 1974 when Isabel Peron as-cended to the Argentine presidency when her husband Juan Peron died in offi ce, 18 women have served as heads of state in Latin America and the Caribbean either via election or appointment.

But despite these gains, women still have a long way to go to achieve parity in Latin American politics.

Only about half of Latin Ameri-can women are affi liated with any party. And a database compiled by the Inter-American Development Bank and IDEA Internacional shows when women run for offi ce they’re

Women still trail in Latin American politics

MADRID — The Basque mili-tant group ETA called an end to a 43-year armed campaign for in-dependence Thursday and now wants to open talks with Spain and France — a groundbreaking move that could pave the way for ending Europe’s last armed militancy.

The group made the announce-ment to Basque daily Gara, which it

regularly uses as a mouthpiece. ETA had already declared a cease-fi re, but up to now had not renounced armed struggle as a tool for achiev-ing an independent Basque state — a key demand by the Spanish government.

“ETA has decided the defi nitive cease of its armed activity,” the group said in the statement. “ETA calls upon the Spanish and French governments to open a process of a

direct dialogue with the aim of ad-dressing the resolution of the con-sequences of the confl ict.”

The statement made no mention of what it intended to do with its weapons.

ETA has been seriously weak-ened in recent years by wave af-ter wave of arrest of members and even fi ve of its leaders. It has not killed anyone in Spain in two years, and many reports said it was down

to as few as 50 members with the capacity to carry out attacks.

Some kind of announcement from ETA has been expected as part of what seemed to be a carefully choreographed process. It began a year ago when its political support-ers renounced violence, ETA called a cease-fi re and international fi g-ures like former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan this week at-tended a conference that called on

ETA to lay down its weapons. How-ever, ETA in its statement made no mention of dissolving outright and unconditionally as the government has demanded, and asserted what it says is the right of the Basque people to decide their own future — the status quo as part of Spain or independence.

Still, Prime Minister Jose Luis
