The same source added that the Libyan envoy provided explanations for the alleged involvement of Qadhafi's forces in the killing of Al Jazeera cameraman Ali Hassan al-Gaber.

Official sources from Cairo Airport said Electricity, Water Resources and Gas Minister Omran Abu Kra left Cairo on a private plane with a Libyan delegation and headed for Doha in secrecy.
