Gadhafi, son buried overnight

MISRATA, Libya - The body of Muammar Gadhafi was buried overnight in a secret location after being displayed in public for days, marking an end for the colonel who ruled Libya with an iron fist for four decades.

A Misrata military council member, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said on Tuesday that Gadhafi's remains were buried "overnight in a religious ceremony", along with the corpses of his son Mutassim and ex-defense minister Abu Bakr Yunis Jaber.

The bodies had been put on display in a market freezer on the outskirts of Misrata, 215 kilometers east of Tripoli, with thousands of Libyans lining up since Friday to view and photograph them. According to guards at the entrance to the market, a convoy of four or five military vehicles took the bodies away to an unknown location late on Monday night.
