2011-08-12

The Libyan Transitional National Council (TNC) on Thursday (August 11th) formally took over the Libyan Embassy in Washington, CNN reported. Former Libyan Ambassador to the US Ali Aujali was accredited as head of the Libyan mission. "This is a message that Kadhafi can no more rule Libya," Aujali said. "The recognition of this embassy under the leadership of the TNC is a clear message to the regime the US recognizes the council and they recognize the new Libya," he added.
