TRIBAL elders from one of Moammar Gadhafi's last strongholds were trying to persuade regime loyalists holed up there to lay down their arms, they said during talks with rebel negotiators yesterday.
The elders left the besieged town of Bani Walid to meet the rebels in a tiny mosque about 60 kilometers away.
"The revolutionaries have not come to humiliate anyone. We are all here to listen," Abdalla Kenshil, the chief rebel negotiator, said at the start of the meeting. Then, in a message clearly intended for hardcore loyalists, some of whom may be fearing rebel retribution, he added: "I say we are not like the old regime. We don't take revenge and we don't bear grudges."
