Tripoli, March 17: Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi is refusing any dialogue with the country’s rebels, whom he compared to al-Qaeda agents.
“These are not people who we can consider holding dialogue with, because al-Qaeda does not hold dialogue with anyone.
“If people want to talk to al-Qaeda, then they should talk with (Osama) bin Laden,” he said in an interview with French newspaper Le Figaro.
Asked about the rebel National Council, Gaddafi said: “It has no value. Its leader (Mustafa Abdel Jalil) is clueless, a sad case. These people will no doubt flee to Egypt.”
