Gadhafi reported dead as loyalist fighters flee

Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi reportedly has died of wounds sustained during his capture near the city of Sirte. Fighters loyal to the dictator fled earlier today from Gadhafi's home town after weeks of fierce fighting, marking the retreat of the last major resistance to the government of the interim National Transitional Council.

"Having more women peacekeepers encourages local women to join their own local security forces, which makes those institutions less corrupt and more transparent. And with women on the beat, we see lower rates of sexual and gender-based violence, abuse, and exploitation, as well as firmer redress for victims of abuse -- including judicial systems that deny impunity for perpetrators."

    The Iranian regime is accused of far-ranging abuses of human rights in a new UN report, including the executions in secret of hundreds of prisoners against a backdrop of torture and degrading treatment of detainees.

    Pakistan must be "part of the solution" in curbing cross-border attacks on U.S. forces in Afghanistan, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned before her arrival today in Islamabad. Clinton said that Pakistan stands to pay a "very big price" if it doesn't crack down on militants behind the attacks.
