Britain secretly negotiating a successor to Gaddafi
As a possible successor to the Libyan leader referred to the general Obaidi, a former interior minister and head of special forces, writes The Daily Telegraph
London maintained secret contacts with former senior officials of Libya, seeking to find a successor to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, says the Daily Telegraph.
London newspaper said one of the people with whom to discuss a successor to Gaddafi in the aftermath of overthrowing the current Libyan leader, who 42 years run the country, is the general Obaidi, a former interior minister and head of the Libyan special forces. According to the Daily Telegraph, British officials believe Obaidi is the one with which London could be agreed to cooperate after the overthrow of Gadhafi and the transition of the country.
Writings of the Daily Telegraph, a newspaper close to the ruling British torievci come after the statement of President Barack Obama, who first publicly asked Gaddafi to leave Libya, because he lost the legitimacy to govern the North African country and after revelations that British Prime Minister David Cameron first asked the question to introduce the no-fly zone. The international community has supported this idea only as a final alternative, if continued air attacks on civilians in the Libyan cities, as the Pentagon believes that zone should be established for the air strikes against the forces of Gaddafi and the destruction of their defense.
Last attempts to overthrow the regime of Gaddafi had in the 1980s, after the bombing of Tripoli and the house that were believed to live Libyan leader on the night between 14 and 15 April 1986 by U.S. military aircraft. The then U.S. president Ronald Reagan and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher accused Gadhafi of sponsoring international terrorism.
Meanwhile, forces loyal to the Libyan leader continued air strikes on rebel territory in eastern Libya. The attacks came as rebel forces from an eastern village, located 280 km from the main opposition stronghold of Benghazi, went westward to protect cities and Adzhadabija Beach. Qatar Al Jazeera TV reported that fierce fighting and artillery fire were observed near the eastern port of Las Ranuf, which is an important strategic center for oil exports, and AZ-howling, 50 km from Tripoli.
Saif el-Islam Gadhafi, one of the sons of Libyan leader said that the purpose of bombing the port city beach was scaring the rebels there.
- Bombs was only to intimidate and force the rebels to leave - Islam Gaddafi stressed, adding that the regime will do everything to prevent beach, the key city of the Libyan oil and gas industry to fall into the hands of insurgents.
