Gaddafi foreign minister flees to UK
Colonel Muammer Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, suffered a major blow to his authority on Wednesday night when his foreign minister, Musa Koussa, defected from the regime and flew to Britain.

In the most high-profile desertion from Col Gaddafi�s entourage since the start of the Libyan crisis, Mr Koussa flew to Britain from Tunisia where he had been staying since Monday.

Mr Koussa arrived at Farnborough airport in Hampshire on Wednesday afternoon where he was debriefed by UK officials. �He travelled here under his own free will,� the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said in a statement. �He has told us that he is resigning his post. We are discussing this with him and we will release further detail in due course.�

The FCO described Musa Koussa as one of the most senior figures in Col Gaddafi�s government. �His role was to represent the regime internationally, something that he is no longer willing to do. We encourage those around Gaddafi to abandon him and embrace a better future for Libya that allows political transition and real reform that meets the aspirations of the Libyan people�.

A Libyan government spokesman in Tripoli denied Britain�s claim that Mr Koussa had defected. �He is on a diplomatic mission,� said spokesman Mussa Ibrahim, without giving further details.

Wonder if he knows where Gaddafi's hidey holes are. Hmmm???
