The U.S. will reopen its embassy in Tripoli this week and will continue to support Libya in the transition from Muammar Qaddafi’s regime, President Barack Obama said.
“Our ambassador is on his way back to Tripoli, and this week, the American flag that was lowered before our embassy was attacked will be raised again, over a reopened American embassy,” Obama said at a New York meeting of nations that supported the NATO-backed campaign in Libya.
