Libyan rebels promised £78m funding

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Thursday talks were under way with people close to Muammar Gaddafi and there was the potential for a transition of power in Libya.
Ms Clinton was talking at the third Libya Contact Group meeting of Western and Arab leaders in Abu Dhabi.
At a news conference, she said the US and her allies were united and committed in their goals for the north African country.
"We reaffirmed there is only one way forward for Libya: attacks against civilians must stop; Gaddafi must go, and the Libyan people deserve to determine their own future," Clinton said.
Donors immediately promised more than £780m for the fund, which is backed by billions of dollars in frozen Libyan assets.
