Libya's new little-known PM facing huge rebuilding task
TRIPOLI, Libya - Abdel Rahim al-Keib, the man elected on Monday to lead the task of rebuilding Libya after eight months of conflict, is a little known technocrat who won the support of the country's revolutionary council.
An academic and a wealthy businessman, Keib spent decades abroad as an opponent of Muammar Gadhafi, before quickly joining the revolution that erupted in February and finally triumphed on Oct 20.
His experience as a technocrat, his generous financial support for the National Transitional Council (NTC) and the presentation he delivered to voting NTC members earlier on Monday culminated in his election.
