12. Libya to charge 21 rebel leaders in special court

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Libyan prosecutors are planning to charge members of the rebels' transitional council with a series of national security crimes and try them in a special court.

A judge assigned to compile the charges laid out his case Wednesday against 21 rebel officials in the east, including the National Transitional Council's head, Mustafa Abdul-Jalil.

...

Government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim says charges against the defendants "amount to treason." Defendants will be tried in absentia.
