BBC:
Libyan Foreign Minister Moussa Koussa is in Britain and "no longer willing" to work for Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's regime, the Foreign Office says.
He flew into an airport near the capital earlier on Wednesday.
He has subsequently spent hours talking to British officials.
His apparent defection comes as rebels in Libya are retreating from former strongholds along the eastern coast as Colonel Gaddafi's forces advance.
...
I suspect he maybe trying to negotiate an exit for the Qaddafi clan. He has been on the phone with several diplomats discussing the possibility and this maybe the only way for him to have the direct contact needed to work a deal I suppose it is also possible that he does not feel safe around Col Qa-daffy.
