Libya's transitional government is to finally declare the country liberated following the capture and killing of the ousted dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
Military official Abdel-Rahman Busin said the governing National Transitional Council (NTC) had begun preparations for a liberation ceremony on Sunday in the eastern city of Benghazi, birthplace of the Libyan revolution.
The declaration comes as military commanders in Misurata rejected international calls for a post-mortem on Gaddafi's body, amid signs of tension among some of the revolutionary factions.
In another step towards transforming the former dictatorship into a democracy, the interim prime minister Mahmoud Jibril said on Saturday that Libyans should be allowed to vote within eight months to elect a national council that would draft a new constitution and form an interim government.
