Libyan woman claiming rape will face charges

A Libyan woman who burst into a Tripoli hotel to tell foreign journalists how she was gang raped by Muammar Gaddafi's troops will face criminal charges, a government spokesman said on Tuesday.

The spokesman, Moussa Ibrahim, said the men accused by Iman al-Obeidi are now suing her. A son of a high ranking Libyan official was among those she claimed had raped her, he said. (AP)
