TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- For 20 years, Abdurrahim el-Keib taught electrical engineering at the University of Alabama, helped lead the area's Muslim community and talked little about his home country of Libya. With Moammar Gadhafi's regime deposed, the professor now has a new role as prime minister of his native land.

El-Keib was elected to the position late Monday by Libya's National Transitional Council to replace outgoing interim Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril, who had promised to step down after victory over Gadhafi's dictatorship. His selection suggests the country's interim rulers may be trying to find a government leader palatable both to the West and to Libyans who distrust anyone connected to the former regime.

I had Dr. el-Keib for a course.  My college roommate sent me that article a couple hours ago.  I was shocked.  Now I wonder if will be interviewed due to the nature of my work.  Probably not though...he may be who the US wanted to be put in.

I thought that you may have had a course in his class.

Are you an Electrical Engineer? I was wondering because I worked in the electrical field in construction for 33 yrs. lol, RTR!

I'm kinda a hybrid, Ricky.  My degree says Electrical Engineering with a Computer Option.  Essentially I would be considered a Computer Engineer.  My classes were a mixture of EE, Computer Science, and some specialized computer/electronics courses.

My job title now is none of the above.  :shrug:
