More than two years after Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown, chaos reigns in Libya.

The U.S. has so little trust in the Libyan government that it recently launched a Delta Force raid to apprehend Abu Anas al Libi, an accused al Qaeda operative who was living openly in Tripoli. Meanwhile, human rights abuses are being committed by the very militias supported by a NATO intervention. 

Fault Lines travels to Libya to take a deeper look into the circumstances surrounding the Delta Force raid and to examine whether the U.S. operation may have undermined the Libyan government's attempt to gain control and authority over its country.
