93. U.S. not concerned that extremists will dominate in Libya--Asst. Secretary of State

Posted on The Guardian's Live Blog:

Until now US assistant secretary of state Jeffrey Feltman has been the highest ranking western official to visit Libya. After his trip on Wednesday Feltman confirmed that US was monitoring the influence of Islamic groups in Libya. Speaking to the New York Times he said:

I think it's something that everybody is watching. First of all the Libyan people themselves are talking about this. Based on our discussions with Libyans so far, we aren't concerned that one group is going to be able to dominate the aftermath of what has been a shared struggle by the Libyan people.
