Leaders in Eastern Libya to Seek Semi-Autonomy 
-----------------------------------------------



Leaders in eastern Libya have announced plans to seek semi-autonomy from
the rest of the country. On Tuesday, officials meeting in Benghazi named
the leader of a new governing council. They also rejected a national
election plan that allotted the eastern region far fewer seats in
Libya’s assembly than the west.
