Libya Rebel Leader: Gaddafi and Family May Be Allowed to Stay in Country 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------



The leader of Libya’s opposition movement says Col. Muammar Gaddafi
and his family may be allowed to stay in the country provided they
relinquish power and rebel forces are permitted to determine where they
reside and under what conditions. Mustafa Abdel Jalil, chairman of
Libya’s Transitional National Council, made the remark in an interview
with the Wall Street Journal. Jalil also confirmed reports the nation of
Qatar has increased the flow of weapons to the opposition in recent days
and sent personnel to train the rebel fighters in light weapons use and
small-unit tactics.
