Tripoli

Militias are ruling the streets in many parts of Libya. The interim government has yet to fully assert its control. And Libyans are starting to protest to get the peace they thought they would find after Gaddafi.

Abducted at gunpoint overnight from a luxury hotel in the Libyan capital, Prime Minister Ali Zeidan was released a few hours later unharmed. Could it have been a disgruntled ally sending a message?

The US raids in Africa over the weekend were intended to capture the terrorists for likely trial and interrogation, which is why the US decided against using drones.

While it was first believed that the attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya was then result of protests over a seemingly anti-Muslim video, U.S. officials now believe an al-Qaeda backed group orchestrated and planned the entire thing. U.S. officials have vowed justice for the four Americans killed.

Rana Jawad lived in Libya for years before the country was ripped apart by civil war and the Arab Spring. So when most western journalists pulled out, Jawad stayed. She reported on-air until that became impossible, but continued to report online until Gaddafi was killed. She’s realeased a book with her story.
