Gaddafi ready to quit for cash?

Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has hinted that he is ready to quit Libya after 41 years in power, only if rebel interim council gives him a pile of cash and assures him immunity from criminal prosecution, a media report said.

The dictator is said to have proposed a meeting of the Libyan parliament to agree a transition period to pave the way for him to step down; his terms include immunity from criminal prosecution and a pile of cash, Britain's Daily Mail quoted Arabic TV network Al Jazeera.

Libyan rebels however ruled out any mediation with Gaddafi and demanded that he leave the country, as the regime rubbished any suggestion that it had made an approach.
