“It would be a political exit that would remove Gaddafi and his family from the scene,” and allow “a government of national reconciliation,” to take over, said Frattini in an interview on Italian television.

Possible members of Gaddafi’s government who could take part in the new government “have already been identified”, he said adding that unveiling the plan, which was still being worked out together with the UN, could cause it to fail.

Meanwhile, the chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court Monday is due to ask judges in The Hague to issue arrest warrants for three senior members of the Libyan regime.

One warrant is expected to be issued for Gaddafi.
