London -

Britain isn't offering apparently defecting Libyan Foreign Minister Moussa Koussa diplomatic immunity as it seeks to further undermine Muammar Gaddafi's regime.

British Foreign Secretary William Hague says the resignation of Moussa Koussa, one of the most senior members of Gaddafi's government, shows the Libyan leader's regime is “fragmented, under pressure and crumbling.”

It had been speculated that the British government might seek to overlook allegations Koussa played a pivotal role in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, among other atrocities, to capitalise on his resignation.

But Hague said on Thursday “Moussa Koussa is not being offered any immunity from British or international justice.” - Sapa-AP
