US ambassador returns to Libya

None

The US ambassador to Libya has returned to Tripoli to lead a newly reopened American Embassy in a post-Moammar Gaddafi era. Ambassador Gene Cretz arrived in Tripoli Wednesday, a day before plans to raise the US flag over the embassy building in the Libyan capital.

 

President Barack Obama announced Tuesday that the ambassador would return, telling Libyans: "This is your chance. And today the world is saying, with one unmistakable voice, we will stand with you." (AP)
