The UN General Assembly yesterday voted to give Libya's seat in the world body to the country's rebel National Transitional Council that toppled Muammar Gaddafi. The 193-member assembly voted 114 in favour and 17 against NTC. There were 15 abstentions. The move allows interim government leader Mustafa Abdel Jalil to attend next week's annual UN General Assembly in New York. Jalil is expected to meet US President Barack Obama and other world leaders on the sidelines of the General Assembly. The U N Security Council has eased a number of sanctions imposed on Libya and voted to set up a UN mission to support the interim government.
