Civil War In Libya -- News Updates May 20, 2011



Libya Offers To Pull Army Out Of Cities If Rebels Do The Same -- Washington Post

TRIPOLI, Libya — The Libyan government said Thursday that it would pull its army out of cities if rebels did the same, while a spokesman called President Obama “delusional” for saying in a speech that Moammar Gaddafi’s 41-year rule over Libya would soon come to an end.

The government’s offer, which the spokesman described as going further than it had before, was made on the condition that NATO stop its attacks on Libyan military targets, and it remained unclear Thursday evening how viable the proposal was.
