Country in North Africa; capital Tripoli (5)

I believe the answer is:

libya

(Other definitions for libya that I've seen before include "Colonel Gadaffi's country" , "Assault; pester" , "Where Idris was king" , "Petroleum-rich African desert country" , "North African republic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
