Possible alliance with Islamists in Libya

Seif al-Islam, the son of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, said on August 4 that an alliance with radical Islamist elements within the Libyan rebels is to be announced soon. He boast reaching this agreement with local Islamists in the rebel-held eastern city of Darna, intended to become an "Islamic zone, like Mecca."
Ali Sallabi, Libyan Islamist leader confirmed negotiations with Seif al-Islam are under way, but denied any alliance. He added that Libyan Islamists supported the rebel leaders' calls for a pluralistic democracy without any participation of the Gadhafi family.
