Will Libya Become the New Afghanistan- a haven for Al Qaeda?

Muammar Gaddafi was killed after being captured by the Libyan fighters he once scorned as "rats," cornered and shot in the head after they overrun his last bastion of resistance in his hometown of Sirte.

But what kind of government will emerge in the “new” Libya? And could it be possible that NATO’s efforts could have pulled a rerun of Afghanistan of the 1980’s, where the CIA helped its people remove the Soviets only to have the country seized by the Taliban (who offered Osama bin Ladin a safe haven) in 1996?
