ENGHAZI (LIBYA): Libyan expats have became the first to take a stab at forming a political party in Benghazi, headquarters of the widely recognisedNational Transitional Council and stronghold of rebels fighting to oust Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

"We call ourselves the New Libya Party because everything was destroyed," said Ramadan Ben Amer, 53, a co-founder of the party, which is the offshoot of an online news website that he helped launch in late February to support the revolution.

"Gaddafi says he has built Libya brick by brick but, especially Benghazi, he has destroyed it brick by brick," Ben Amer told AFP hours before presenting his party at the Uzu Hotel.
