Libyans throughout the country have taken to the streets to mark the death of Muammar Gaddafi, the country's former leader.

Waving the flag adopted by Libya's ruling National Transitional Council, Libyans young and old joyously shouted "Allahu Akbar" while some fired guns in the air in celebration.
