The Libyan government has accused Nato of undermining secret negotiations it claims are under way with senior rebels in order to prevent a peaceful solution to the four-month conflict. Covert and informal talks have taken place in foreign states, including Italy and Norway, for the past two months, officials in Tripoli said yesterday. The claims have been strongly contested by the rebel leadership. But Khaled Kaim, Libya's deputy foreign minister, said progress had been made "in some areas" but hopes for a breakthrough had been dashed because of unspecified Nato obstructions. "Some member states of Nato don't support talks between the government and the rebels," he said. The National Transitional Council, the rebels' de-facto government in Benghazi, has consistently denied any negotiations are taking place. (© Daily Telegraph, London

BRUSSELS - NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen is to meet Libyan opposition members in Brussels next week, an alliance diplomat said on Tuesday, their first invitation to Nato headquarters. The meeting called by Rasmussen was agreed by ambassadors of the 28-nation alliance and will take place on July 13, the diplomat told AFP.'Nato countries agreed to invite the rebels because there is no Nato representation in Benghazi yet,' the diplomat said on condition of anonimity. Separately, a European diplomat said a member of the Transitional National Council (TNC) will likely meet with senior European Union officials next week. Nato officials declined to confirm whether Mr Rasmussen had invited the rebels, but noted he has met TNC officials at meetings abroad of the international contact group on Libya. 'Nato has had contacts with the TNC as part of the broad international efforts to find a solution to the Libya crisis,' a Nato official said. -- AFP
