The NATO planes again came into action Thursday night over the Libya, where the announcement of possible elections would organize Mu'ammar al-Gaddafi by the end of the year was rejected by the insurgents as by the United States.

In an interview with the daily Italian Corriere della Sera, Saif al Islam, the eldest son of the "guide", says that elections could be organised "within three months, at the latest at the end of the year" and that "the presence of international observers could ensure transparency".

In the event of defeat, he adds, his father would be willing to leave the power he has held since 42 years.

But this semblance of concession on the part of the Libyan power was quickly corrected by the Prime Minister, Al Bagdadi Ali Al Mahmoudi: "I would like to fix this and say that the leader of the revolution is not affected by a referendum", he said after a meeting with a Russian envoy.

At Benghazi, officials of the national Council of transition (CNT) created by the insurgents to rejected the offer of Saif al Islam.

"Tell that the time is over because our rebels are at the gates of Tripoli and that they buy our people and the rebels (who are already) to uproot the symbol of the corruption and tyranny in Libya", said Abdel Hafiz Ghoga, spokesman of the CNT on the antenna of Al Djazira.

In the United States, a representative of the U.S. Department of State found that it was "a little late for this".

Speaking Thursday night to Russian news agencies after meeting with the Prime Minister in Tripoli, the emissary in Moscow, Mikhail Marguelov, reported that a departure from Gaddafi was a "red line" that the Libyan power was not ready to cross.

"There may be discussions on the departure of Gaddafi at the present time." "The Prime Minister stated that, for the Libyan leadership, the start of any negotiations on the future of the country was an immediate ceasefire", he added. (see)

QUESTIONS OF LAW IN THE UNITED STATES

It is difficult to see how elections could be organized in a country plunged into violence since the start of the insurgency in mid-February and the repression which resulted in the commitment of NATO against the forces of the Libyan "guide".

But the proposal of the eldest son of Muammar al-Gaddafi comes then that several NATO countries engaged for three months to the day the military operations in Libya worried about the risks of getting bogged down.

Washington, majority Republicans in the House of representatives, ask them on the legal bases of the US involvement and their leader, John Boehner, suggested that Congress could close "cords of the stock market" and cut off the financing of the operation. (see)

Despite air support from the West, the rebels, even though they increased again in recent days, fail to score the decisive points which would allow them to reach Tripoli for Gaddafi.

Late Thursday night, new bombings were aimed at Tripoli, where eight powerful explosions were heard from the Southeast and southwest of the Libyan capital, neighbourhoods overflown by planes of the Atlantic Alliance.

In a joint statement published Thursday, Chinese Hu Jintao and Russian President Dmitri Medvedev said their concern at the situation in Libya and appealed to the "strict application" of the Security Council resolutions.

On the ground, the fighting crystallized on three fronts: in the East around, complete of the oil city of Brega held not government forces in the West near the rebel of Misrata city, and the Jabal Nafusah Finally, southwest of Tripoli, near the Tunisia. The bombings continue but the situation seems virtually frozen.
