(AP) – 2 hours ago


BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) — The Libyan rebel movement that controls the country's eastern half wants to

install a parliamentary democracy across the country once they topple the regime of longtime ruler

Moammar Gadhafi, a top rebel official said Sunday.


Abdel-Hafidh Ghoga, vice chairman of the National Provisional Council told The Associated Press that the

government established after Gadhafi's fall would reject all forms of terrorism and extremism.


"The Libyans as a whole, and I am one of them, want a civilian democracy, not dictatorship, not tribalism

and not one based on violence or terrorism," he said.

...


Gadhafi's growing international isolation and the international military intervention, together with the

rebels' improved military prowess, means Gadhafi's departure could be "a matter of days," he added.
