利比亚将组建新内阁

Libya is expected to announce the formation of a new cabinet, in a first step to forming an elected government.

利比亚将要组建新内阁，这是组建新政府的第一步。

Prime Minister-designate Abdurrahim al-Keib said all of Libya's regions would be represented.

The transitional government is tasked with drafting a constitution and holding democratic elections.

Three months after Col Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown, Libya's new authorities are trying to assert their control over the entire country.

Mr Keib was elected prime minister by the National Transitional Council (NTC) last month.

The NTC is a coalition of rival factions that came together to oust（驱逐，取代） Col Gaddafi, who was killed in his birthplace, Sirte, on 20 October.

'Competence'

On Monday, Mr Keib said he was finalising his cabinet with the NTC and expected to announce the lineup（阵容，一组人） on Tuesday.

"We will use competence（能力，胜任） as a basic measure and this way we will be able to include all of Libya's regions," he told a news conference.

An NTC source quoted by Reuters news agency said the local military commander in the western town of Zintan, Osama al-Juwali, had been designated defence minister.

Libya's deputy UN ambassador Ibrahim Dabbashi had been named foreign minister, interim oil minister Ali Tarhouni was moved to finance and oil industry executive Hassan Ziglam was taking over the oil ministry, Reuters said, but those names have not been confirmed.

The BBC's Rana Jawad, in Tripoli, says the first test of the new government will be to successfully centralise Libya's political and military powers.

Only then will the government be able to proceed with drafting a constitution and eventually hold Libya's first democratic elections in its modern history, our correspondent says.

Col Gaddafi was overthrown（推翻，打倒） and his supporters defeated in a nine-month insurgency that began in the eastern town of Benghazi and eventually swept across the rest of the country.

Militias in different areas, joined by defectors from the army, were aided by Nato forces who bombed Col Gaddafi's forces under a UN mandate（授权，命令） to protect civilians.

Col Gaddafi was killed in the city of Sirte, his hometown, following his capture there last month.
