Gaddafi government accepts truce plan

Well ain't that special.

But unless Gaddafi steps down the rebels will not be happy.

It sounds like no one talked to the rebels in any of the negotiations, outsiders did all the talking with Gaddafi; not with anyone who started this whole pile of crap.

Supposedly they will have a little sit down today and the rebels will be told what they need to accept, you can probably bet this ain't over yet.

South African President Jacob Zuma says the Libyan government has accepted an African Union peace proposal to end the eight-week-old conflict.

Mr Zuma's AU delegation met Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi in Tripoli on Sunday. An AU team is going to the eastern rebel stronghold of Benghazi.

But rebel spokesmen said there could be no truce unless Col Gaddafi stepped down and his forces withdrew.

In Ajdabiya, pro-Gaddafi forces have pushed back rebels in fierce fighting.

Nato says its planes destroyed 25 government tanks on Sunday alone.

The alliance said it had "taken note" of the AU initiative and welcomed efforts to save Libyan civilians.
