Libyan rebel leader to meet Sarkozy in Paris

The head of Libya's opposition government is heading to France for talks Wednesday with President Nicolas Sarkozy, pushing for a role in post-war Libya even though longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi's whereabouts remain unknown.

Sarkozy will meet in the evening with Mahmoud Jibril, head of the Libyan rebels' acting Cabinet, for talks on "the situation in Libya and the international community's actions to support the political transition to a free and democratic Libya," according to a statement from Sarkozy's office. (AP)
