the latest from Libya

1838: More from Libya’s former interior minister: “In Tripoli, I call all the people in the neighbouring area to go forward to put an end to this brutal regime.”

1841: More bad news for the Gaddafi regime: Libya’s ambassador to Portugal quits, and denounces the current government as “tyrannical”.

1854: Another defection from Col Gaddafi: 11 members of Libya’s Arab League delegation resign and call for the colonel to quit.

1910: Libyan satellite TV channel al-Libiyah reports Saif al-Islam will hold a news conference “in a few moments”.
