The Foreign Office confirmed Musa Kusa had travelled to Britain of his 
own free will and was resigning his post - a further blow to the 
dictator's grip on power.
It said he had arrived on a plane from Tunisia and was "no longer 
willing" to represent the dictator's regime.
"We can confirm that Musa Kusa arrived at Farnborough Airport on March 
30 from Tunisia," a spokesman said.
"He travelled here under his own free will. He has told us that he is 
resigning his post. We are discussing this with him and we will release 
further detail in due course.
The Foreign Office confirmed Musa Kusa had travelled to Britain of his 
own free will and was resigning his post - a further blow to the 
dictator's grip on power.
It said he had arrived on a plane from Tunisia and was "no longer

"We can confirm that Musa Kusa arrived at Farnborough Airport on March 
30 from Tunisia," a spokesman said.
"He travelled here under his own free will. He has told us that he is 
resigning his post. We are discussing this with him and we will release 
further detail in due course.
"Musa Kusa is one of the most senior figures in Gaddafi's government and 
his role was to represent the regime internationally - something that he 
is no longer willing to do.
"We encourage those around Gaddafi to abandon him and embrace a better 
future for Libya that allows political transition and real reform that 
meets the aspirations of the Libyan people."
Questions were earlier raised about Mr Kusa's whereabouts after Tunisian 
news agency TAP reported he had entered that country, but gave no 
reasons for his move.
A Libyan government spokesman later claimed he had not defected and was 
merely on a "diplomatic mission", but declined to say where he was 
going. Libya's deputy foreign minister Khalid Kaim dismissed the reports 
as "nonsense".
But within hours the Foreign Office confirmed he was seeking refuge.
Noman Benotman, a friend of Mr Kusa and analyst at Britain's Quilliam 
think-tank, said: "He wasn't happy at all. He doesn't support the 
Government attacks on civilians."
Azeldin El Sharif, president of the British Libyan Solidarity Campaign, 
told Sky News it was a "very significant" step forward for the 
opposition's cause.
He said: "This is an absolutely massive loss for Gaddafi."

 Mica scemo.
A differenza dei diversamente callidi e variamente dislocantisi. P.S. Ma 
come? Non sei convinto anche :) tu che Thazqkawvy'ji (č la trascrizione

Scilipotfor, o Stratford-upon-Avon, o Redford-under-Chanel, o quel che 
l'č) oggi abbia vinto? Sono sbalordito (e anche un po' indignato).

Zhamqagyij intanto ha ripreso pure Brega. E doppia scorta per il
ministro, che i britt sono maestri del doppio gioco, e se lo rivendono
in 5 minuti se domani le truppe libiche sono di fronte a Bengasi

 dictator's grip on power.
Ci sono rimasto malissimo: pensavo fosse lì per trattare la resa di 
al-Qaḏḏāfī — mi sa che per il Nobel a Frattyni dovremo aspettare un 
altro po'.
