Gaddafi ready to step down in exchange for security guarantees
Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi is ready to step down in exchange for a security guarantee, and the NATO is ready to support him, reports the newspaper “Kommersant”.
“In order to put an end to the drawn out conflict, the French are ready to not only unfreeze the colonel’s family’s accounts but also save him from the Hague tribunal,” Kommersant writes from Sochi.
However Gaddafi has also another precondition as well, Kommersant reports, he insists his son Saif be allowed to stand in any elections that would follow his departure.
