Libya: Power handed to new assembly
Libya's National Transitional Council has handed power to a new assembly following the first free elections since the fall of Gaddafi.
NTC chief Mustafa Abdul Jalil passed the reins to the oldest member of the legislative body at a late-night ceremony in the capital Tripoli.
The NTC, which was formed during last year's revolt, has now been dissolved.
The General National Congress will be tasked with choosing a new interim government to take over from the NTC, and will steer the country until fresh elections can be held.
Libyans elected a legislative assembly of party and independent representatives last month.
