LIBYA's new rulers promised to investigate allegations of "serious abuses" including war crimes as their position was consolidated when the World Bank recognised them as the official government.

The National Transitional Council was responding to a report released Tuesday by London-based human rights watchdog Amnesty International that accused the fighters who brought down the Kadhafi regime.

The NTC acknowledged "a small number of incidents involving those opposed to Gaddafi" and vowed to investigate Amnesty's allegations.

In a statement issued in its eastern bastion of Benghazi, the council's executive committee said it "strongly condemns any abuses perpetrated by either side". "The NTC is firmly committed to human rights and the rule of law, both international and local," it said.

Amnesty also acknowledged the alleged atrocities were of a "smaller scale" than those carried out by Gaddafi's regime, didn't add that to the post for 4 paragraph limit. Sorry I've been engaging the counter-revolutionaries, again, I highly doubt the thread will get out of negative rec territory. :(
