Cameron returns to UK for Libya talks

David Cameron will chair a meeting of Britain's National Security Council on Libya (NSC-L) today after cutting short his holiday, Downing Street said.

The British prime minister returned to London from Cornwall last night as euphoric Libyan rebels swept into Tripoli.

Scenes of jubilation broke out in the capital’s Green Square today as Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s 40-year rule appeared to be crumbling.
