Libyan anti-government protest leaders say they have formed a "national council" in eastern

cities seized from Moammar Gadhafi, following days of fighting with forces loyal to the

Libyan leader.

Council spokesman Hafiz Ghoga said Sunday that the council serves as the face of the

revolution but is not an interim government.

Meanwhile, in western Libya, anti-government protesters have taken control of Zawiya, some

50 kilometers from the capital, Tripoli. The protesters are reported to be preparing to repel an

expected offensive by pro-Gadhafi forces surrounding the area.

Watch Raw Video of Libya Protests:

Western journalists who reached Zawiya said hundreds of people gathered in the city center 

Sunday, chanting anti-Gadhafi slogans. The journalists reported extensive damage from

recent fighting, with many buildings burned and pockmarked by bullets, and charred

skeletons of cars left in the streets.

Mr. Gadhafi remains in control of Tripoli, but has seen opposition forces take control of other 

parts of western Libya and the entire east of the country since they started an uprising against

his 42-year rule earlier this month.

On Saturday, Mr. Gadhafi's former justice minister declared the formation of a transitional

government based in the eastern city of Benghazi, where the uprising began. Mustafa Abdel

Jalil made the announcement in an interview with Qatar-based Al-Jazeera television.

Abdel Jalil said the transitional government includes military and civilian figures and will

lead for "no more than three months" to prepare for "fair elections" enabling the Libyan

people to choose their leader. He quit as Mr. Gadhafi's justice minister last week. It is not

clear how much support Abdel Jalil's caretaker government has in opposition-held

communities.

Libya's Ambassador to the United States Ali Aujali said Saturday he supports the caretaker government established by Abdel Jalil.

It is a good Idea which will maintain the achievement of protesters and strengthen their 

attitudes on the ground . Each region could separate and form a temporary transitional

government individually which could be managed by prominent characters in their society .

This Idea will extend the extent of protesters and will shrink the grip of violence till all

Libyans be able to control their area .

Moreover , Each area which liberate from Moammar grip could originate TV or radio

channel and allow international media to transform the real events on the ground . Let whole

world see How Moammar and his sons deal with Libyans . It seems many Moammar patrons

repudiate his regime and join up with protesters to support them strongly .
