Washington, April 27: Libyan leader Muammar Al Gaddafi has become a “liability” for his people and the sooner he recognises his “game is up” it is better, British Defence Secretary Liam Fox has said.
“The sooner that Colonel Gadhafi recognises that the game is up, however, today or shortly, the better. He is a liability for his people and his country, and the sooner that he gets this message, the better,” Fox told Pentagon reporters at a joint media availability with his US counterpart Robert Gates.
“It is also appalling for us to see the sight of young mercenary soldiers being pushed to the front of lines in places like Misurata, and it’s a sign of desperation from a regime that they resort to these sorts of tactics,” he said.
In a meeting that lasted for three hours at the Pentagon, the two leaders discussed the situation in Libya.
