NATO to announce withdrawal from Libya today

NATO ambassadors are meeting in Brussels today to make a formal decision on ending the alliance's air campaign over Libya. Last week, NATO made a preliminary decision to end its mission on October 31st.

Libya's interim Oil and Finance Minister says the country's National Transitional Council wants NATO to maintain its mission for at least another month.

The meeting comes a day after former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was buried in a secret desert location. He was shot and killed last Thursday as provisional government forces stormed his hometown of Sirte.
