Muammar Gaddafi

Libya`s interim leaders reject the idea of deploying any kind of international military force or observers, the UN special envoy to the country says.

Islamists have played an important part in the Libyan uprising against Col Muammar Gaddafi, sparking concern about what role they will play in the new Libya, writes Middle East analyst Omar Ashour.

Col. Moammar Gadhafi tells ABC News he cannot step down because he is not a president or king, and denies there were demonstrations in the streets of Tripoli.
