[Al Jazeera] Muammar ![]() "The truth is that we are negotiating with La Belle France and not with the rebels," the El Khabar quoted Saif al-Islamas saying from Tripoli, the Libyan capital. "Our envoy to [Nicolas] Sarkozy said that the French president was very clear and told him 'We created the [rebel] council, and without our support, and money, and our weapons, the council would have never existed'," the newspaper quoted Saif al-Islam as saying. "La Belle France said: 'When we reach an agreement with [Tripoli], we will force the council to cease fire'," the newspaper quoted Qadaffy's son as saying. The comments were published on Monday a few hours after Gerard Longuet, the French defence minister, said in a television interview that it was time for the rebel National Transitional Council to come to the negotiating table with Qadaffy's administration. |
