Libya must rein in "out of control" militias:Amnesty
TRIPOLI (Reuters) – Libya's aspirations to replace Muammar Gaddafi's repressive rule with a just, democratic state are being undermined by armed militias who trample on human rights and are outside the government's control, Amnesty International said on Thursday. The militias spearheaded the rebellion that ended Gaddafi's 42-year rule but they have so far refused to disband.

Market Report / Bank stocks drag down Tel Aviv benchmark
Valentine's Day notwithstanding, there was little love for equities in Tel Aviv or European markets yesterday.

Libya fallout fans Sahel hunger pangs
Sahel states are bracing for a long, potentially deadly hungry season, many weakened by the return of people from Libya who are unemployed, armed and creating fresh strife in already-vulnerable countries. Crops have failed across a massive swathe of eight countries after late and erratic rains in 2011, and aid agencies have raised the alarm of a food crisis bigger than that which left millions hungry in 2010.

Not that his parents or siblings were particularly impressed by his get-up-and-go
