When Libyans rose up against the 42-year rule of Muammar Gaddafi, Libyan exiles living abroad were confronted by questions about who they are and what role they should play in their country's struggle for freedom. For many, the answer was clear: they wanted to be a part of their country's revolution.

ICC allows Libya to try Gaddafi son

The International Criminal Court's prosecutor has said that Libya can put Muammar Gaddafi's son and one-time heir apparent on trial at home, provided there is a judicial process that does not shield him from international justice. Luis Moreno-Ocampo said on Wednesday at a news conference in Tripoli, the capital, that it was very important for Libya that Saif al-Islam, the captured son of the late Libyan leader, is tried inside the country.

As fighting in Libya has eased, the oil companies have started to edge back. The country is already producing about 400,000 barrels a day, though most of that is going to domestic use, Barclays analysts Helima L. Croft and Amrita Sen wrote. About 130,000 barrels a day of refining capacity is back online, and the figure could expand to 300,000 by the end of the year.

Like the flight of Tunisia s dictator or the trial of Egypt s, the capture of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi on Thursday afternoon captivated the Arab world, giving a renewed sense of power and possibility. But the photographs of his bloody corpse that circulated just moments later on cellphones and television screens quickly tempered that exhilaration with a reminder of the many still-unresolved conflicts that the Arab Spring has also unleashed.

The chairman of the dodgy Transitional National Council (TNC), Mustafa Abdul Jalil's agenda: "allies and friends" would "have priority within a framework of transparency" in sharing the loot. So many juicy oil and gas (and water and uranium and reconstruction) contracts to bag, so little time. - NATO's real agenda is to wait and see while Gaddafi and his forces regroup and rearm in Niger and southern Algeria, and start a real guerrilla. That will be the perfect excuse for NATO to stay - like in Afghanistan.
