NATO scouts allegedly landed on the territory of Libya. On the air of the Al-Juzira channel, shots were shown in which a group of armed people who look like Europeans talk to the rebels. Meanwhile, the leader of the Libyan Jamahiria Muamar Gaddafi, in negotiations with the leader of South Africa Jaikob Zuma, demonstrated their readiness for a truce with his opponents.
The operator of the Al-Jazira television channel captured a group of armed men. Some of them wore sunglasses and kufi (traditional Arab hats). As soon as they noticed the observation, they hastened to hide from the frame. The announcer suggests that some of them work for British intelligence.
Six of them looked like immigrants from Western countries. At least five people had weapons with them, were dressed in sandy clothes, caps and cotton Arab scarves. One of them, probably, the leader of the group, was not clearly armed and wore a pink shirt with short sleeves. The Telegraph identified his likely Western intelligence officer.
The record appeared a week after the emergence of information about the intentions of France and the UK to send military helicopters to Libya in addition to aviation. The countries substantiated this by the fact that it is more convenient to destroy the forces of government forces from helicopters.
Messages about the transfer of the forces of the British special forces to Libya have repeatedly appeared in the British press. In March, six special forces and two MI6 intelligence officers were detained by rebels during their attempts to get in touch with the leaders of resistance. Subsequently, the group was replaced by another “interaction group” sent to the region.
On Monday, the British Ministry of Defense said that not a single unit of the British troops in Libya. Recall that the UN resolution, which authorized the armed intervention of Western countries in the conflict, does not provide for a land surgery and capture the coalition of one or another part of the Libyan territory.
On the air of Libyan television, fragments of negotiations between the leader of the Libyan Jamahiria Muamar Gaddafi and President South Africa Jaycobe Zuma were shown. On the evening of Monday, Zuma said that Gaddafi, who first appeared in public on May 11, was ready to truce, but the question of his possible resignation remained open, writes The Guardian . This was the second Zuma, to act as an intermediary in the Libyan armed conflict.
Gaddafi met the head of South Africa in his presidential complex in Bab al-Azizya. The Libyan leader looked healthy, contrary to reports that he suffered during the bombing of his residence, which claimed the life of the son of Gaddafi Saif al-Arab in early May.
Zuma said that Gaddafi is ready to drive the “road map” proposed by the African Union - a plan for a peaceful settlement, including a ceasefire, an agreement on humanitarian aid and reform. This plan was rejected by the rebels in Benghazi and NATO, conducting a military operation in Libya.
According to the President of South Africa, Gaddafi insisted that the Libyans “get the opportunity to agree among themselves” about the future of the country, but did not say anything about his own place in this future. Official sources denied the information that the issue of resignation of Gaddafi was raised during negotiations.
On the eve of the fighting spirit of the rebels, the news raised the news that eight officers of the army of Jamahiria, among whom were five generals, decided to betray their leader because he went against his people. They stated this at a conference organized by the Italian government in Rome. One of the runaway officers accused the leader of Jamahiria of genocide. In total, according to them, about 120 of his supporters left Colonel Gaddafi in recent days.
