Libyan parliament approves new Cabinet

TRIPOLI, Libya — Libya’s Parliament on Wednesday approved the country’s new Cabinet in a vote of confidence, a spokesman said, but armed protesters cut the main road leading to the Parliament, vowing not to leave until members of the ousted regime of dictator Moammar Khadafy are excluded from political life.

Omar Humidan said five of the 27 ministers would be reconsidered after concerns were raised over their ties to the deposed regime.
