(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - "If there is any negotiation it will be on one single thing -- how Gaddafi is going to leave the country or step down so we can save lives. There is nothing else to negotiate," said Ahmed Jabreel, an aide to the council on Thursday.
"We are not going to negotiate any political solution. We want him put on trial, but if we don't give him an exit, we know more people will be killed," Jabreel added.
The 30-member national council was established in the eastern city of Benghazi by anti-government forces following the liberation of some eastern cities.
The council is headed by the former Justice Minister Mustafa Abdel Jalil who resigned last week in protest against the brutal crackdown on mass demonstrations.
Though US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said that Washington is “reaching out” to opposition forces in Libya, spokesman for the council, Hafiz Ghoga, has rejected foreign intervention in the country, saying “the rest of Libya will be liberated by people.”
On Wednesday, clashes between opposition forces and Gaddafi loyalists left at least ten people dead. The anti-government revolutionary forces in Brega claim they have repelled attacks and managed to liberate an oil terminal that had fallen under control of Gaddafi forces.
Reports by human rights groups say over 6,000 people have so far been killed in the government's harsh crackdown on protesters.
