A Whole New Libya

Moammar Gadhafi ,Libya`s former leader, was killed last week and there is much debate over how he actually died, and who is responsible.
After being captured last week by rebel forces, alive, with only a gunshot wound to the arm, he was later found dead by gun shot wound to the head.
The question then arises, was this a war crime? Undisclosed by autopsy reports people then wonder, was he killed is crossfire or by close range. According to CNN World News `A `new Libya` Must Probe Gadhafi Death`, the United Nations High Commisioner for Human Rights, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and even U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton are calling for outside investigations on what actually went on with Gadafi`s death.
Now that Libya`s dictator is gone, they are a free country. The new government there have promised early elections and a fast chage to democracy. To be approved for foreign money assistance , however, Libya must prove that they ar commited to human rights. With the mystery surrounding Gadhafi`s death along with many other mysterious deaths brought to light recently  around the country an new begining might prove to be very challenging for them. The answer to how Gadhafi died could hold the key to what the future will look like for Libya.
