Gaddafi in ‘truce talks’ as top Libyan army officers desert him

SOUTH African President Jacob Zuma met Muammar Gaddafi for truce talks last night as NATO said the Libyan leader’s “reign of terror” was nearing its end and top military officers deserted him.

Libyan state news agency JANA said Zuma left the capital after a visit lasting several hours.

Footage was broadcast showing Gaddafi welcoming Zuma at the entrance of his Bab al-Aziziya compound in the Libyan leader’s first public appearance in weeks.
