WASHINGTON, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Libya's rebel Transitional National Council is unlikely to ask for an international peacekeeping force to stabilize the country, but may seek outside help on policing, the State Department said on Thursday.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland would not comment on whether the United States, which has pledged not to put "boots on the ground" in post-war Libya, would take part in assisting with police efforts.
But she said Washington would look favorably on a Libyan request to the United Nations.
