Seems he was wounded but has died from said wounds.

Maybe, but:

"He (Gaddafi) was also hit in his head," National Transitional Council official Abdel Majid Mlegta told Reuters. "There was a lot of firing against his group and he died."

I would say that outside of Libya the guy was damn near irrelevant for much longer than two months.

No doubt, but back when the US was propping him up I knew some guys who went to work in Libya for Bell Helicopters and had the bad luck to be there when he decided he didn't want our help any longer. At the request of the state department, they were part of a group of 30 odd volunteers who hung around to insure everyone got out and everything secret got destroyed or shipped out. When they finally left they were literally one step ahead of the Libyan army when they flew out of Tripoli.

For their trouble, they wound up being stripped of all the money they earned while working there because they remained after relations soured and the US had to save face when asked why there were still US citizens working in Libya after Gaddafi denounced the US and Bell ceased operations there. They saved the Bell employees from being grabbed and saved us a lot of embarrassment by getting the sensitive material out/destroyed, but in typical cold war fashion they were made scapegoats "for the greater good".

It took them close to 20 years of court fights, but they finally got their money (plus interest) back from our uncle.

Back then he was second only to the USSR on the US bogey man list.

Longest reigning Arabic 'leader' in Africa, 42 years. Libya needs to rebuild itself and it won't be easy even with the sweet crude it sells to Europe.

Died by the sword...
