Rebels demand Gaddafi exit for peace

 Libyan opposition leader Mustafa Abdul Jalil says the departure of Muammar Gaddafi is the only way out of Libya's crisis. He also stated that the opposition would not hold any talks with him.

Jalil's remarks came 1 day just before the expected go to by South African President Jacob Zuma to Libyan capital Tripoli on Monday. It is however to be created clear if Gaddafi's departure is going to be discussed.

Moreover, he stated the opposition hopes elections could be held inside a year, and that members of the Libyan rebel administration won't seek office if Muammar Gaddafi is removed from power. NATO says it's ready to deploy attack helicopters for the first time inside the country with the aim of growing pressure on Gaddafi's ground forces.

Britain's Defense Minister, Liam Fox, says that employing British attack helicopters under NATO command is risky but required.
