IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Berlin, April 9, IRNA -- The former secret service coordinator of the German government, Bernd Schmidbauer has been meeting with high-level representatives of Libyan dictator Colonel Moammar Qadhafi in Tripoli, the news magazine Focus said in a report on Saturday.
Qadhafi and his son Saif al-Islam have reportedly told Schmidbauer that they would be ready to agree to an immediate ceasefire supervised by the UN and the African Union.
Schmidbauer stressed that Colonel Qadhafi would under 'no circumstances leave his country.'
The Libyan regime is also currently preparing a new constitution for the country, according to Schmidbauer who was directing Germany's intelligence agencies under then-chancellor Helmut Kohl.
A German foreign ministry spokeswoman made clear that the 71-year-old Schmidbauer who has in the past successfully mediated other crises in the Middle East and North Africa, had not been acting on behalf of the German government.
