Speaking
to reporters, members of the Libyan National Transitional
Council said there have been no such talks. Council spokesman
Abdel Hafez Ghoga also denied reports that the opposition
would promise not to pursue Gadhafi for crimes if he steps
down within the next three days.
Earlier,
a member of an opposition group called the February 17 Coalition
said Gadhafi was trying to strike a deal with opposition
leaders, saying he would step down as Libya''s leader if
they could guarantee him safe passage out of the country
and promise that neither he nor his family would face prosecution.
The coalition member, Amal Bugaigis, said the opposition
submitted counter-offers, which included a stipulation that
Gadhafi has to immediately concede he is not the ruler of
Libya.
Gadhafi's
regime, meanwhile, also denied any negotiations with the
rebels. Musa Ibrahim, a government spokesman, called reports
of such negotiations "lies."
