Libyans at home and abroad took to the streets today to celebrate the death of you know who. “This is the happiest moment of my life,” says a 22-year-old driver in Benghazi. “When I heard the news on television I didn’t believe it; I ran off to the streets and I started jumping up and down.” Thousands of Yemenis used the occasion to celebrate and renew their call for the ouster of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, notes Bloomberg. (More Moammar Gadhafi killed stories.)
