Qatar urges Gaddafi to quit, avert more bloodshed

Muammar Gaddafi should take a "brave decision" to avoid more bloodshed and destruction in Libya, Qatar's prime minister said on Monday, in a rare Arab call on the Libyan leader to resign.

"It is not too late for a decision. It is impossible for anyone to win in this revolution but the Libyan people," said Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani, urging a solution that would reduce bloodshed and suffering and avert the destruction of Libya. "What is the value of leadership? What does it lead to? I believe he should now take a brave decision," he said in remarks aired on Al Jazeera television. (Reuters)
