FILE - In this June 17, 2011 file photo, a Libyan protester chants slogans against dictator Moammar Gadhafi during a demonstration following the Friday prayers in Misrata, Libya. The people of Misrata, who played a key role in overthrowing the regime, held a vote Monday, Feb. 20, 2012 to elect a new city council. The vote was the first experiment in real democracy anywhere in Libya, and the fact that it happened in Misrata demonstrated the city's newfound clout on the national political scene. (AP Photo/Hassan Ammar, File)AP - Four months after the death of Moammar Gadhafi, the people of Misrata were frustrated by stalled reforms. They played a key role in overthrowing the Libyan dictator of 42 years, and were impatient to see the changes they shed blood for.
