New flag raised over Libyan embassy in Moscow
Libya's embassy in Moscow on Monday finally hoisted the rebel flag after lowering the green banner of Moammar Qaddafi's regime last week in the wake of his regime's fall in Tripoli.
A spokesperson for the embassy said the red, black and green banner, which itself evolved from the deposed monarchy, was raised on instruction of the ambassador and following orders from the foreign ministry.
The embassy lowered the green flag of Qaddafi’s government on Wednesday after Tripoli's fall to the NATO-backed rebel force.
