"(Reuters) - Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi urged his people early on Monday to 'liberate Libya' from NATO and traitors, a day after rebels captured a key town on the road west to Tunisia, severing Tripoli's main supply route. Late on Sunday, representatives of Gaddafi's government were holding talks with rebels at a hotel on the southern Tunisian island of Djerba, a source with direct knowledge of the talks said -- though the government spokesman denied it.
The talks followed a dramatic advance by the rebels that won them control of the town of Zawiyah, 50 km (30 miles) west of Tripoli on the coast, enabling them to halt food and fuel supplies from Tunisia to Gaddafi's stronghold in the capital."
