The National Transitional Council promised Monday evening to run a new Libyan government based on moderate Islam. It was the first speech of NTC head Mustafa Abdul Jalil, who said moderate Muslim tenets （教义, 信条） would be the main source of legislation in the north African country after the collapse of the Muammar Gaddafi regime.
Jalil vowed the country would not accept extremist ideology （意识形态）, not veer (转向) to the left or right, but stay on the middle road as a Muslim people.
Jalil’s promise came about the same time that NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen warned of Islamic extremists possibly exploiting weaknesses in Libya as the embattled nation rebuilds.
However, fugitive （逃亡者） Gaddafi remains defiant （反叛的） and promised in a televised message to fight until victory. The dictator’s location remains unknown, although one of his sons had fled to Niger [尼日尔(非洲中西部国家)] and another son, a daughter and his wife are in Algeria [阿尔及利亚(北非国家)].
Jalil, who once served as justice minister under the Gaddafi regime (政权) until he joined the rebels, promised to form a transitional government within 10 days. He added Libyan women would play an active role in the new government.
On Tuesday, Amnesty International released a report that accused the Gaddafi regime of human rights violations, which AI pointed out were possibly also committed by NTC fighters. The alleged violations include killing a number of captured soldiers and suspected mercenaries （雇佣兵） belonging to Gaddafi's forces.
