now the supreme council of the armed forces and the government have said that those elections will goad as scheduled. but that's just the beginning of a very long process. they begin on the 28th of november, but they will continue in other parts of the country through march of next year. at which point egyptians are hoping they will have some stability, some certainty as to where this country is going because at the moment, it's not at all clear. i'm ben wedeman, cnn, reporting from cairo. >>> in libya, libyans captured another prize sunday. the country's former intelligence chief abdullah al senusi was moammar gadhafi's brother-in-law and a notorious figure in the former regime. gadhafi's son will remain in the town of zatan. because of security concerns. he was captured saturday in the desert. libya insists it will bring him to justice, even as officials with the international criminal court insist he should be sent to the hague for trial. >>> ahead, more on our top story tonight. police foil a terror bombing plot in new york city. a live report from the suspect's home is next. now
