[Ennahar] A Libyan foreign ministry official on Tuesday denied Tripoli had floated a proposal under which leader Muammar Qadaffy... an Arab institution for 42 years ...
could step down in exchange for guarantees about his future.
The official, an advisor to the deputy foreign minister, said reports about such a deal were "absolute nonsense." Qadaffy's opponents in rebel-held east Libya said they received a proposal to discuss Qadaffy's exit but rejected it.
