The flag of the National Transitional Council of Libya raised over the Libyan embassy in Moscow. The embassy members changed the green flag of the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya for the red-black-green tricolor used by the rebels. The tricolor was the national flag of Libya under King Idris overthrown in 1969 by the military led by Muammar Gaddafi.
