said a peace plan for Libya from Venezuela's His Excellency President-for-Life, Caudillo of the Bolivarians Hugo Chavez was under consideration.
"We have been informed of President Chavez's plan but it is still under consideration," Moussa told Rooters on Thursday. "We consulted several leaders yesterday," he said.
Moussa said he had not agreed to the plan and did not know whether Qadaffy had accepted it.
Oil fell on news of the plan. Brent crude fell more than $3 to $113.09 per barrel as investors eyed a possible deal brokered by Chavez, a close friend of Qadaffy.
Al Jizz news said Chavez's plan would involve a commission from Latin America, Europe and the Middle East trying to reach a negotiated outcome between the Libyan leader and rebel forces.
The network said the chairman of the rebels' National Libyan Council, Mustafa Abdel Jalil, rejected entirely the concept of talks with Qadaffy.
In a push east, government troops, backed by air power, on Wednesday briefly captured Brega.
Opposition forces took back the town they have held for about a week, rebel officers said. They were ready to move west toward the capital, they said, if Qadaffy refused to quit.
Basking in the adulation of loyalists in Tripoli on Wednesday, Qadaffy launched into a tirade against the "armed gangsters" he said were behind the unrest, part of a conspiracy to colonize Libya and seize its oil.
"We will enter a bloody war and thousands and thousands of Libyans will die if the United States enters or NATO enters," Qadaffy told Tripoli supporters at a gathering televised live.
