Libya's Jordan ambassador turns against Gaddafi

Libya's ambassador to Jordan said on Thursday he left his post in protest at his government's violent crackdown on demonstrators calling for the ousting of Muammar Gaddafi.

"In these difficult time we face as our people fall in unimaginable bloody confrontations ... I cannot comprehend what age we are in and cannot believe there is anyone who can justify this," Ambassador Mohammed Al-Barghathi told reporters while delivering a statement announcing his resignation.
