[Iran Press TV] Senior Libyan officials say the country's longtime ruler Muammar Qadaffy is ready to accept an African Union-mediated political solution to the unfolding crisis in the country. "We are ready to implement the Road Map envisaged [by] the High-Level Committee mandated by the Peace and Security Council of the African Union," the Libyan delegation to AU talks said in a statement in Addis Ababa on Friday.
Qadaffy had also dispatched a high-level delegation to join the African Union talks. The talks also included EU, UN and Arab League representatives.
The council, headed by Libya's former Justice Minister Mustafa Abdel Jalil, plans to lead the country to an election.
Latest reports say US-led Western warplanes have struck Libyan ground forces for a seventh consecutive day near strategically-important towns. The developments also come as revolutionary forces are gearing up for a new attack on troops loyal to Qadaffy to win back the eastern city of Adabiyah. | |||
