And British Prime Minister David Cameron said Thursday "is a day to remember all of Colonel Gadhafi's victims," including the 270 dead in the bombing of a Pan Am flight over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988 and "the many, many Libyans who died at the hands of this brutal dictator and his regime."

NATO said it will convene for a meeting to discuss ending its operation in Libya, a senior NATO official told CNN.

"It will be very soon, perhaps next day or two," the official said.

Adm. James Stavridis, supreme allied commander of NATO, is looking at "key pieces of intelligence" to make that recommendation, the official said. That will include assessing whether the revolutionary fighters control Sirte, which NATO believes they do, and whether Gadhafi loyalists can mount any significant counterstrike.

Gadhafi, wanted by the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, for alleged crimes against humanity, had not been seen in public in months.

World leaders sounded encouragement for a new Libya but cautioned that the road ahead will hardly be easy.

"In the coming days, we will witness scenes of celebration, as well as grief for those who lost so much," said U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. "Yet let us recognize, immediately, that this is only the end of the beginning. The road ahead for Libya and its people will be difficult and full of challenges."
