LONDON, March 31 (Itar-Tass) - Libyan Foreign Minister Moussa Koussa on Wednesday arrived in Britain and stated that he breaks up with the regime of Muammar Gaddafi, a spokesman of the British Foreign Office confirmed this information on Thursday.
According to him, upon arrival in the UK from Tunisia the Libyan
Foreign Minister said he resigned because 'no longer wants to represent the ruling regime in Libya."
The British Foreign Office has so far not commented on reports that Moussa Koussa sought refuge in Britain.
Meanwhile, Reuters reported that Koussa arrived in Britain on
Wednesday and has resigned from Muammar Gaddafi's government, the British government said. "We can confirm that Moussa Koussa arrived at Farnborough Airport on 30 March from Tunisia. He travelled here under his own free will. He has told us he is resigning his post," a Foreign Office spokesman said in a statement. "Koussa 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," the spokesman said.
