A member of the Benghazi city council says the Libyan cities under rebel control have appointed an ex-justice minister to lead a provisional government. Fathi Baja says opponents of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi named Mustafa Abdel-Jalil to the provisional leadership post.
Baja said Sunday that Abdel-Jalil was chosen by the committees running the eastern Libyan cities now in the rebellion's hands. (AP)
