Witness: Sleeping in Gaddafi’s bedroom
Muammar Gaddafi’s room was large, but not enormous and his monstrous bed took up the majority of the room. Two tacky chandeliers hung from the ceiling.

libya taps engineer who lived in U.S. for decades as interim leader
Libya's transitional government picked an engineering professor and longtime exile as its acting prime minister Monday, with the new leader pledging to respect human rights and international law.
The National Transitional Council elected Abdurrahim El-Keib, an electrical engineer who has held teaching posts at the University of Alabama and Abu Dhabi's Petroleum Institute, to the post with the support of 26 of the 51 members who voted. El-Keib emerged victorious from a field that initially included 10 candidates.
It was not immediately clear when he returned to Libya from the United States, where he had lived since 1975. According to his university bios, he earned his bachelor's degree at the University of Tripoli in 1973, a master's at the University of Southern California in 1976 at a Ph.D. at North Carolina State in 1984.
He joined the Alabama faculty in 1985 as an assistant professor and became a full professor in 1996, teaching in the university's electrical and computer engineering department and serving as director of the engineering school's Energy Systems and Power Quality Center, according to a university directory.
He is currently listed as "former faculty" on the website of The Petroleum Institute, which said he served as chairman of its electrical engineering department and lists him as an expert in power system economics, planning and controls.

A Libyan military spokesman says ex-rebels have tried for a second time to assassinate the country's new national army commander.
Sgt. Abdel-Razik el-Shibahy said Sunday that revolutionary fighters from the western mountain town of Zintan opened fire Saturday evening on Gen. Khalifa Hifter's convoy in Tripoli, after failing to assassinate him hours before. He says one guard was killed and four injured in this second attack. No one was killed in the first attempt.
The Libyan military says that the conflict began when a unit from the national army tried on Saturday to take control of the capital's airport from the Zintan fighters.
Libya's nascent army is struggling to impose its authority over the militias that overthrow Moammar Gadhafi.
