Libya's new leader addresses UN

In the country's first appearance at the UN since Muammar Gaddafi's government was toppled -- Libya clearly sough to project a different image.
For starters, de facto prime minister Mahmoud Jibril wore a suit and tie --- a marked contrast to the copper robe Gaddafi wore during his last appearance.
Jibril carried the theme further, saying his country has been reborn.
SOUNDBITE: Libyan Interim Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril saying (Arabic):
"Today, I stand before your excellencies to show the world that a new Libya is coming to life. We do not claim that we have a magic wand as Muammar Gaddafi claimed, when he looked at himself in the mirror and suddenly discovered he is an almighty prophet with a solution to every problem on earth, except for Libya's problems for 42 years."
He also asked the UN to release $150 billion dollars frozen under sanctions against Gaddafi.
