What’s Next for Libya?

The World

It’s been a whirlwind week in Libya. On Monday, Libyan  rebels stormed into Tripoli, effectively taking over the capital city and inciting celebrations and battles with Gadhafi loyals. Gadhafi’s forces were holding foreign journalists under lock and key in the Rixos hotel, but  finally freed them on Wednesday, as rebels surrounded Gadhafi’s compound. As the rebels continue to search for the missing leader, the Transitional National Council is preparing to govern a post-Gadhafi Libya. What’s next for Libya? We’re speaking with  Ambassador David Mack, former U.S. diplomat, and now a scholar at the Middle East Institute. Mack served as a translator for the U.S. Ambassador to Libya when Gadhafi first came to power.
