Gadhafi toppled a king to rule for 4 decades
Moammar Gadhafi, Libya’s eccentric and unpredictable leader for more than 40 years, who brought his oil-rich country to international pariah status, tried to restore it as a member in good standing in the global community and was ultimately deposed by a nationwide uprising, died Thursday in Sirte, his hometown. His death was confirmed by Libyan Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril.
He was believed to be 69 years old when he was killed as fighters made a final push into Sirte, although his exact birth date was not known. He had been one of the world’s longest-serving rulers.
Gadhafi was 27 when he led a military coup to overthrow King Idris in 1969. With the death a year later of Gadhafi’s childhood hero, Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser, the Libyan became a key voice of revolution, espousing a socialist pan-Arabism and militant rhetoric against Israel.
But Gadhafi’s erratic behavior eventually embarrassed and alienated his Arab peers. Weary of his antics and wary of his plots to overthrow and assassinate other leaders in the region, they turned a deaf ear to his appeals for Arab unity.
Gadhafi’s real personality was difficult to grasp, partly because he maintained a distracted or reticent air in conversation. Observers of his early career described a winning smile, but later interviewers found him generally poker-faced.
His 1970 marriage to a former nurse named Safia produced seven children, of whom the most prominent, Saif al-Islam, had cultivated a reputation as a reformer; that image was shattered after he came out in support of his father’s crackdowns this year. An earlier, brief marriage, from which Gadhafi has one son, ended in divorce.
Gadhafi was born in 1942 near the coastal town of Sirte. His father was a Bedouin farmer, and Gadhafi herded the family animals as a child. He graduated from the University of Libya in 1963 and attended the Libyan Royal Military Academy. In 1966, he trained in armored warfare for six months in England.
