Libya: 'Cameron Is Plotting Regime Change'

The Libyan regime has accused the British government of being behind the recent unrest in Arab countries.
A spokesman for Libya's Ministry of Information accused UK Prime Minister David Cameron of leading a campaign for regime change in Libya and neighbouring countries.

Khaled al Koabi claimed to have information that Britain is "planning to carry on some activities that can create an environment of instability in some Arab countries, for the sake of changing regimes".

He also called on British MPs to oppose what he called the Government's "dangerous behaviour".

Mr Koabi said: "From here I call upon the British society and the British House of Commons to take steps and move against the British Prime Minister, so that Britain will not find herself in a similar situation as in 2003 in Iraq."

The accusation follows Mr Cameron's statement to the House of Commons in which he said he has not ruled out military action in Libya.

The Prime Minister also revealed Britain and other allies are examining the possibility of establishing a military no-fly zone over Libya.

The Pentagon has said it is moving naval and air forces into positions near Libya in case military intervention is required.

Britain and America have frozen assets belonging to Libya's leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.

The EU has also imposed an arms embargo and other sanctions on the Libyan regime in response to violence against anti-Gaddafi groups by government forces.

In response, Col Gaddafi used an interview to deny bombing protesters. He also rejected calls for him to step down and insisted all Libyans love him.

The US ambassador to the UN Susan Rice said the comments showed the Libyan leader was "delusional."
