Libyans celebrate as they tear down the infamous statue of a fist gripping a U.S. fighter jet in Moammar Gadhafi's Bab al-Aziziyia compound on Aug. 26, in Tripoli. Gadhafi had the sculpture installed in front of a house in the compound that was bombed in 1986 on the orders of U.S. President Ronald Reagan. Photojournalist Benjamin Lowy reports that this day was quiet in the war-torn streets of Tripoli, as Muslims took part in Friday prayers during this month of Ramadan. The streets were still dangerous, but the gun battles had quieted substantially. (Benjamin Lowy / Reportage by Getty Images for msnbc.com) Back to slideshow navigation -
