NTC: New Libya needs time, money

Restoring stability to Libya needs more time and money, the head of Libya\'s National Transitional Council (NTC), Mustafa Abdel Jalil said in Rome, on Thursday. Jalil also referred to clashesbetween rival militias gripping Libya that severely threatened the country’s security. The NTC head confirmed that Libyan authorities formulated new policies to be implemented in the next six months by reintegrating the militia. New policies included providing loans for study, self-employment or army-recruitment. He explained that general amnesty included all crimes except those related to personal rights and public money, assuring that Seif Al-Islam, the son of late Colonel Muammar Gaddafi was now in Libya, and would go to trial according to Libyan law. Meanwhile, Jalil and Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti announced in a press conference after their meeting in Rome that the countries are to reactivate the Italian – Libyan friendship treaty. The treaty was originally signed by late Colonel Muammar Gaddafi and former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in 2008. Ironically, Libya announced earlier on Tuesday that it had reservations about \"certain points\" in the friendship treaty. Jalil also met Italian President Giorgio Napolitano.
