Thousands of jubilant Libyans thronged outside the Benghazi courthouse on the city’s seaside corniche. A stiff wind lifted a fine mist of ocean spray into the air. Mr. Denton was overwhelmed ...

When the Arab Spring got underway late in 2010, few of us imagined it would spread to Libya with any tangible effect.

A year later, when I look back on the events ...

It's been just over a month since the capture and death of Libyan dictator Moammar Khadafy, ending his 42-year reign.

Pockets of fighting have erupted among rival tribes and some rebels have refused to give up their cache of weapons. Doctors continue to struggle to treat the wounded and sick, with a few of ...
