As NATO’s secretary-general warned that Libya could fall into the hands of extremists, Abdel Jalil, the National Transitional Council’s head honcho, announced that ”[Libyans] are a Muslim people, for a moderate Islam.” The Telegraph reports Jalil telling the crowd that:

The Telegraph also noted that:

[Jalil’s] formulation suggested that Libya would follow neighbours such as Egypt in allowing room for secular freedoms.
But there are already signs that the rebel leadership is split over a variety of issues including the future role of the Islamist militias which played a significant part in the revolution.

The worry for NATO, Secretary Rasmussen said, is that “we cannot exclude the possibility that extremists will try to exploit a situation and take advantage of a power vacuum.”
