"Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- The body of ousted Libyan ruler Moammar Gadhafi was buried early Tuesday morning, a National Transitional Council spokesman told CNN.
Gadhafi, his son Mutassim and his defense minister Abu Bakr Younis were taken to an undisclosed location for burial five days after he was killed in Sirte, according to Anees al-Sharif, spokesman for the National Transitional Council's military arm in Tripoli.
Members of the former leader's tribe were allowed to pray over the body, Sharif said.
The three bodies had been available for public viewing from a cold storage unit in recent days, except for being removed temporarily so autopsies could be conducted."
