Libya's acting foreign minister arrives in Greece on an apparent mission to negotiate an end to fighting in the country.

Abdel Ati al-Obeidi, Libya's acting foreign minister, has told the Greek prime minister in Athens that embattled Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi is seeking an end to fighting in the country.
