Ibrahim Dabbashi said a UN resolution is ready if needed. "It is very important to impose the no-fly zone as soon as possible" because of the air attacks on rebels, he told reporters. "Everything is set as a resolution, but there are some countries which still need some more discussion to convince their governments," Dabbashi said. 1656 GMT: The Libyan regime has offered a $500,000 bounty for the capture of the chairman of the rebel National Council, Mustafa Abdel Jalil, according to state television. How will that go down in Benghazi? 1651 GMT: In Paris, a French diplomatic source tells AFP that France will airlift 12,000 Bangladeshis who have fled in Libya in a Saudi-funded rescue mission. "We are going to run an airlift for about 12,000 Bangladeshis with the financial support of Saudi Arabia," said the source, who asked not to be named. The Bangladeshis were working in Libya and have fled penniless across the border into Tunisia to escape heavy fighting. 1643 GMT: In Brussels, an EU official tells AFP that a Libyan government emissary is on his way to Portugal for talks with the country's foreign minister, Luis Amado. Amado is due to attend a gathering of the EU's 27 foreign ministers in Brussels on Thursday. This comes after another Kadhafi envoy was sent to Cairo earlier in the day. 1627 GMT: In a transit camp on the Tunisian border, around 40 school children arrive by bus, armed with brushes, to help clean the vast camp for displaced people that yesterday housed 16,000 people, an AFP reporter tells us. They have come more than 100 kilometres (60 miles) to help out, they say. 1615 GMT: Earlier today, Kenya's Nobel prize winner Wangai Maathai asked, in a comment piece in the Guardian newspaper whether the 'winds of change' would blow across the Sahara. It is not exactly across the Sahara, but in Sudan, another hugely important north African country, protestors have been arrested for the second day in a row as they sought to demonstrate for reform. Where else could this spread? 1551 GMT: Things are getting tricky for the Kadhafi family on more than one front, it seems. In London, a campaign group called "Topple the Tyrants" has occupied the luxury, eight-bedroomed neo-Georgian London home of Moamer Kadhafi's son Seif al-Islam. Members of the previously unknown group said they had occupied the mansion and wanted it transferred to the people of Libya. "At this time this is being treated as a civil matter. There have been no arrests," a police spokesman confirmed. 1536 GMT: Seeming to confirm what Rachid says about the situation in Zawiyah, Libyan state TV is now reporting only that pro-Kadhafi forces are moving towards the centre of the town, not in control, and is not showing any footage of this reported movement. 1526 GMT: "Zawiyah is like Somalia: boom, boom, boom," Rachid, a 48-year-old Moroccan who has reached the Tunisian border frmo Zawiyah, told my colleague. "There was still gunfire this morning when we left at around 10," he said. "The rebels are in control of the centre, and Kadhafi's forces the outside. It's 50/50. There is nobody on the streets. The town's empty... There is no Internet, no telephones are working" he said. It seemed though that the situation was quieter than before. "Yesterday the fighting was intense with explosions and gunfire. The weekend was the worst - Friday, Saturday Sunday. On Sunday, an explosive hit the house and created a one metre hold in one of the walls." 1520 GMT: In Ras Jdir, on the Tunisian border with Libya, AFP reporter Daphne Benoit has been speaking to people fleeing Zawiyah about the situation in the town over the past few days. Details in a minute. 1455 GMT: Near Ras Lanuf, an AFP reporter has seen scores of Libyan rebels packed into dozens of vehicles apparently retreating into the town. This follows the artillery and air strikes we described earlier. "The front line is shifting ever closer to Ras Lanuf," he says. 1450 GMT: Meanwhile, in Cairo, clashes have broken out in the city's Tahrir square, where groups of men with knives and machetes waded into hundreds of pro-democracy activists. "The pro-Mubarak thugs attacked us and tried to come into Tahrir, but we were able to push them back, with sticks and stones. We fear they will return," a young militant, Mouez Mohammed, told AFP. 1440 GMT: The unrest shaking the Middle East and North Africa not confined to Libya of course. In Morocco, the royal household has announced that King Mohammed VI will address the nation on TV Wednesday, for the first time since protests broke out on February 20 demanding political reforms. 1431 GMT: And some more colour from AFP reporters around Ras Lanuf. They tell us that forces loyal to Kadhafi had rained artillery shells on the position, before the air attack on the oil facility. At least 20 shells slammed mid-afternoon near a checkpoint just five kilometres (three miles) west of rebel-held Ras Lanuf, the reporters said, adding that there were no immediate reports of casualties. The mood among the rebels does not seem disheartened, however. One of the rebels played a revolutionary song full blast on a loudspeaker, with lyrics which said: "We will stay here until the pain in over." 1420 GMT: More detail from our correspondent in Ras Lanuf. He tells us a huge fire could be seen raging in the area of an oil facility. Every few minutes, another ball of flame shoots into the sky, he said. Ali al-Aguri, an oil company mechanic who works at another plant further away told him: "I know for sure that what they blew up was an oil pipe. I know the whole line by heart," he said. 1414 GMT: In Berlin, Germany is sounding a note of caution about the calls for a no-fly zone to be imposed. "A no-fly zone is ... one of the options on the table. We say this option must be discussed very responsibly and very cautiously, particularly a thorough weighing-up of the consequences," a foreign ministry spokesman told reporters. 1358 GMT: Following Al Jazeera TV pictures showing black smoke rising above the key rebel-held eastern oil port of Ras Lanuf, an AFP correspondent now reports hearing a huge explosion near an oil facility outside the town, where a huge flame leapt hundreds of metres into the sky. 1348 GMT - A recap of the latest developments surrounding the unrest in conflict-riven Libya: - Leader Moamer Kadhafi has accused the West in a TV address of plotting to seize his country's oil and the insurgents of being traitors backed by Al-Qaeda, as his forces pounded rebel-held areas in the west and east of the country. - A senior Libyan official landed in Cairo on Wednesday in a private plane that overflew Greek airspace. He was identified as Major General Abdelrahman al-Zawi, a member of embattled leader Moamer Kadhafi's inner circle responsible for logistics and supplies. - On the front line in eastern Libya, both pro- and anti-Kadhafi forces are taking up defensive positions, rebels battling the forces of the veteran leader said. - From Zawiyah, just west of Tripoli and near the Tunisian border, former official Murad Hemayma said Kadhafi wanted to take control of the city by Wednesday after days of siege which has seen many civilian casualties. - Top lawmakers in Strasbourg have demanded that EU leaders recognise Libya's opposition and support the imposition of a no-fly zone, as rebels from Tripoli came to the European Parliament seeking legitimacy. - On the oil markets, world prices were mixed by midday Wednesday as traders tracked the supply situation amid ongoing unrest in Libya and awaited energy inventory data in the United States. 1332 GMT: Correspondents from Al Jazeera English say the plumes of smoke could mean the oil terminal in Ras Lanuf has been hit in an air strike. 1320 GMT: The Al Jazeera English TV channel is running live footage from Ras Lanuf, showing thick black smoke rising over the key eastern Libyan oil port currently controlled by opposition forces. 1311 GMT: World oil prices were mixed Wednesday, AFP reports, as traders tracked the supply situation amid ongoing unrest in Libya and awaited energy inventory data in the United States. In London, Brent North Sea crude for delivery in April rose 42 cents to $113.48 per barrel. New York's main contract, light sweet crude for April, fell 22 cents to $104.80. 1304 GMT: Referring to the earlier Reuters report (1220 GMT) about a Libyan official said to have landed in Cairo in a private plane that flew over Greek airspace, AFP cited an airport official as saying he is a senior official called Abdelrahman al-Zawi who is a member of embattled leader Moamer Kadhafi's inner circle. Major General Zawi is responsible for logistics and supplies. 1256 GMT: As reported earlier (see 1027 GMT post), top lawmakers in Strasbourg have demanded that EU leaders recognise Libya's opposition and support the imposition of a no-fly zone, as Tripoli rebels came to the European Parliament seeking legitimacy. But European Union foreign and security chief Catherine Ashton refused to back either call just 48 hours from an emergency summit of heads of state and government where the bloc will thrash out policy towards Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi. 1253 GMT: The UN expert on torture has said he is looking into allegations of abuse against Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi's regime that have been levelled since unrest erupted in Libya last month. Juan Mendez, the UN special rapporteur on torture, cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment, declined to give details on the allegations or their origin. "I am working on allegations that we have received since the disturbances began in Libya, and we have initiated communications together with other special rapporteurs," Mendez told journalists. "So far at least we have received only allegations against the Kadhafi regime, and these allegations were before the disturbances turned into what some are calling now a conflict of an internal nature," he added. 1248 GMT: From Zawiyah, just west of Tripoli, a former official, Murad Hemayma, has told AFP that Kadhafi wanted to take control of the city by Wednesday after days of siege which has seen many civilian casualties. "Round every corner there are people shooting," he said. "The international community must do something." 1240 GMT: Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi has said his people will take up arms if a no-fly zone is imposed by Western nations or the UN, as many of the rebels have been calling for, the BBC reports. "If they take such a decision [to impose a no-fly zone], it will be useful for Libya, because the Libyan people will see the truth, that what they want is to take control of Libya and to steal their oil," he told Turkey's public TRT channel. "Then the Libyan people will take up arms against them," he said. 1220 GMT: The Libyan official said to have landed in Cairo in a private plane that flew over Greek airspace has been named by Reuters as Maj-Gen Abdel Rahman Ben Ali al-Sayyid al-Zawy, head of the Libyan Authority for Supply and Logistics. 1208 GMT: The Reuters news agency reports that the Libyan plane that flew over Greek airspace to Egypt (see 1055 GMT posting) was carrying a Libyan official responsible for supplies, according to an Egyptian airport official. 1204 GMT: Both sides were taking up defensive positions in eastern Libya on Wednesday, rebels battling the forces of veteran leader Moamer Kadhafi said. An AFP reporter saw some 200 rebel fighters spread out on small hills around the main coast road between the rebel-held oil town of Ras Lanuf and Bin Jawad, some 30 kilometres (19 miles) to the west. "Today, we have established defensive positions ahead of here," rebel Colonel Masud Mohammed told reporters some five kilometres from Ras Lanuf. "Kadhafi's forces are in Bin Jawad, they are occupying the mosque and the school," he said. "Today we are not attacking yet." He also said there were four airstrikes by government warplanes near Bin Jawad earlier Wednesday. Several rebels were wounded, he said, but gave no further details. 1148 GMT: Libya's Moamer Kadhafi should be in the dock, the lawyer for Liberian ex-Sierra Leone president Charles Taylor has said at his trial in the Netherlands, adding that the trial of his client was politically motivated. Alleging "selective" prosecution, Courtenay Griffiths reminded the Special Court for Sierra Leone in Leidschendam that its mandate was to try those with the biggest responsibility for the brutal 10-year civil war. Prosecutor Nicholas Kumjian had earlier told judges that other leaders like Kadhafi and Blaise Campaore of Burkina Faso had also supported Sierra Leone's Revolutionary United Front (RUF) during the conflict that ran until 2001, but it remained "a proxy army under one person, Charles Taylor". 1135 GMT: More from AFP reporters in the key eastern oil port of Ras Lanuf, currently in opposition hands: Rebels manning the last checkpoint on the western side of Ras Lanuf are refusing to let journalists through "for safety reasons." At the checkpoint a letter from Libyan Muslim scholars was read aloud through a megaphone, expressing support to the fighters, but urging them to be disciplined. "Follow orders, obey the commanders in the field, do not make chaotic movements," the letter read. The speaker then shouted to the rebels: "Guys, disperse." 1130 GMT: Further detail on reports from the key eastern Libyan oil port of Ras Lanuf on the heavy shelling heard earlier as Libyan rebels battled forces of veteran leader Moamer Kadhafi: An AFP reporter on the edge of Ras Lanuf saw smoke from an apparent airstrike or shelling four kilometres to the south of the town. 1123 GMT: Regarding reports of a private plane belonging to Moamar Kadhafi with unknown passengers aboard crossing Greek airspace en route to Egypt on Wednesday, AFP reports the Libyan strongman is currently under a travel ban imposed by the United Nations Security Council. The European Union last month placed a visa ban was against 16 people, including Kadhafi, members of his family "closely associated with the regime" and others "responsible for the violent crackdown on the civilian population". 1106 GMT: Regarding the earlier post (1055 GMT), a Greek air force source has said the plane that crossed Greek airspace en route to Egypt was a Libyan Airlines Falcon 900 that normally carries VIPs, though the pilot denied that dignitaries were on board. "The pilot tabled a flight plan from Tripoli to Cairo," the air force source said, adding: "The plane crossed southwest of the island of Crete around an hour ago. It should be landing in Cairo by now." Kadhafi on Tuesday had called Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou, the Greek leader's office said. In the discussion, Papandreou had told Kadhafi to seek a peaceful resolution to the rebel uprising against his government. 1100 GMT: A recap of the latest developments surrounding the crisis in violence-wracked Libya: - Leader Moamer Kadhafi has accused the West of plotting to seize his country's oil and the insurgents of being traitors backed by Al-Qaeda, as his forces pounded rebel-held areas. - US President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron said they would plan a "full spectrum" of action against Kadhafi while US officials met with opposition members seeking to topple the veteran leader. - On the front line, lightly-armed rebel fighters came up against fierce shelling and air attacks as they tried to advance in the east of the north African country. - From Zawiyah, just west of Tripoli and near the Tunisian border, former official Murad Hemayma said Kadhafi wanted to take control of the city by Wednesday after days of siege which has seen many civilian casualties. - Cameron said the world could not stand aside while Kadhafi did "terrible things" to the Libyan people. "We have got to prepare for what we might have to do if he goes on brutalising his own people," he added. - US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said any move to implement a no-fly zone should be a decision by the United Nations. - Members of Libya's rebel leadership spoke to the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Tuesday, asking to be recognised as "legitimate" and calling on the West to impose a no-fly zone. - On the oil markets prices fell back again Wednesday as producer countries showed signs of increasing output to counter the effects of turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa, analysts said. 1055 GMT: A private plane belonging to embattled Libyan leader Moamar Kadhafi with unknown passengers aboard crossed Greek airspace en route to Egypt on Wednesday, a Greek defense ministry source has told AFP. 1052 GMT: The Libyan crisis will be discussed at a two-day NATO ministers' meeting starting Thursday in Brussels as well as an emergency EU summit specially convened on the issue Friday, AFP reports. 1048 GMT: Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou has advised embattled Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi to seek a peaceful resolution to his country's insurrection, Papandreou's office says. The PM's office said Papandreou, who was called by Kadhafi, "listened" to the Libyan leader's views but stressed the need to prevent a humanitarian crisis from unfolding as his government fights back against a rebel uprising. 1038 GMT: "We have to start the process of recognition of the provisional national council as the representatives of the Libyan people," the head of the Liberals, former Belgian prime minister Guy Verhofstadt, tells the European parliament in Strasbourg. Verhofstadt was instrumental in bringing Tripoli rebels Mahmud Gebril, Libya's former planning minister, and Ali al-Essawi, former ambassador to India, to the house. "We have to neutralise as quickly as possible (Colonel Moamer) Kadhafi's capacity to kill his citizens," Verhofstadt added. 1027 GMT: Top European lawmakers called Wednesday on EU leaders to formally recognise Libya's opposition and support the imposition of a no-fly zone, after Tripoli rebels came to Strasbourg seeking legitimacy, AFP reports. The head of the parliament's Liberals, former Belgian prime minister Guy Verhofstadt, told the 736-member chamber in eastern France two days before an emergency summit of European Union heads of state and government that it was time to grant "recognition" to the rebels. 1016 GMT: Heavy shelling has been heard from the eastern front as Libyan rebels battled forces of veteran leader Moamer Kadhafi, AFP reports. The sounds of shellfire and four large explosions came from west of the key rebel-held oil port of Ras Lanuf, where the lightly-armed insurgents have been checked in their attempt to occupy Bin Jawad, some 30 kilometres (19 miles) away. Aircraft were also flying overhead but had not launched any strikes. Rebels manning the last checkpoint on the western side of Ras Lanuf were refusing to let journalists go through "for safety reasons." The rebels said their own forces were 20 kilometres west of Ras Lanuf, while the government troops had not moved from Bin Jawad, where a rebel spokesman said Tuesday they had dug themselves in. On Tuesday, multiple air strikes by government warplanes targeted Ras Lanuf, wounding one person, while rebel positions further west came under heavy shelling. 1012 GMT: Reuters are reporting that the heavy fighting between rebels and government militiamen in the hitherto opposition-held town of Zawiya, west of Tripoli, has forced the closure of an oil refinery there. 1008 GMT: Libyan state TV has sent a report from what it calls the "liberated" city of Zawiya, the BBC reports. One pro-Kadhafi soldier said: "We could say that we are controlling the area 100%, but let us say 90% since the saboteurs are still scattered [within the city]." 1002 GMT: Casualties have been reported in Zawiya, west of the capital Tripoli and close to the Tunisian border. At least 50 tanks, more than 100 armed pick-up trucks and scores of government militiamen launched attacks on the town on Tuesday, witnesses have told the BBC. 0953 GMT: Kadhafi, who took power in a 1969 coup, once again insisted he had no intention of stepping down, saying he was not the de facto leader of the country. "Since 1977, the Libyan people have held the power," he said speaking in Arabic in an interview with Turkey's public TRT television channel, translated into Turkish. Kadhafi styled himself 'guide of the revolution' from 1977, saying power was held 'by the masses' via elected people's committees. Despite widespread unrest in several regions of the country, Kadhafi insisted that "peace and security hold sway in a large part of Libya." 0950 GMT: Kadhafi warns that Libya and the surrounding region would be engulfed in chaos, spreading to Israel's doorstep, if Al-Qaeda takes control of his country. "If Al-Qaeda manages to seize Libya, then the entire region, up to Israel, will be at the prey of chaos," he said in an interview with Turkey's public TRT television channel. "The international community is now beginning to understand that we have to prevent Osama Bin Laden from taking control of Libya and Africa," he added. On the international debate over whether to impose a no-fly zone over Libya to prevent his forces from attacking rebels from the air, the Libyan leader paradoxically said he was in favour of the move. He said that if the no-fly zone would allow "Libyans to see through the real intentions (of the international community) -- to seize our oil -- and then they would take up arms (to defend the country)." 0935 GMT: Welcome to AFP's live report on the unrest in Libya for Wednesday, bringing you all the latest updates from our correspondents and other news sources on the ground in Libya and around the world. Here's a brief summary of some of the the latest key developments in the north African state: -- Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi gives a speech on state television accusing the West of plotting to seize his country's oil and the insurgents of being traitors backed by Al-Qaeda, as his forces pounded rebel-held areas. "The colonialist countries are hatching a plot to humiliate the Libyan people, reduce them to slavery and control the oil," he said in remarks remarks to the people of Zintan, 120 kilometres (75 miles) southwest of Tripoli. The town is currently is in rebel hands but surrounded by Kadhafi's troops. -- Kadhafi also says Al-Qaeda was behind the insurrection that began on February 15 and called on the inhabitants of Benghazi, the rebels' main base in the east of the country, to "liberate" the city. Kadhafi made similar accusations against Western countries, especially France, in an interview aired by the French LCI television channel Wednesday. He had made a late-night appearance at a hotel used by many foreign correspondents in the Libyan capital. -- Overnight, heavy shelling was heard on the front line with the rebel-held east of the north African country. Rebels said government troops had unleashed a torrent of fire west of the key rebel-held oil town of Ras Lanuf, and dozens of opposition fighters were seen moving up the desert road. An AFP reporter said that at one point, he counted 10 shells in two minutes. -- Britain and France have made the most aggressive calls among Western powers for a no-fly zone to stop Kadhafi's troops attacking opposition forces, and a senior UN official in New York said the Security Council had discussed the matter. The United States says any such move would need to have full United Nations backing, which is far from assured. -- Earlier, US President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron said they would plan a "full spectrum" of action against Kadhafi while US officials met with opposition members seeking to topple the veteran leader. Cameron said the world could not stand aside while Kadhafi did "terrible things" to the Libyan people. "We have got to prepare for what we might have to do if he goes on brutalising his own people," Cameron said. -- Late Tuesday, a rebel spokesman said a Kadhafi intermediary had offered talks but was rejected outright. That claim was dismissed as "rubbish" by a government official in Tripoli, where a defiant Kadhafi made a late-night appearance at a hotel used by many foreign correspondents in the Libyan capital.
