London (ANTARA News/Reuters) - Qatar`s Prime Minister urged Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi on Tuesday to step down to halt bloodshed and said that he might only have a few days to negotiate an exit.

"We urge Gaddafi and his people to leave," Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani told a news conference.

"I think this is the only solution to sort this problem as soon as possible. Right now we don`t see any indication of that. But this hope which we offer now might not be on the table after a few days. I`m not warning anybody here, but I am trying to stop the bloodshed as soon as possible," he added.

British Foreign Secretary said an international meeting on Libya had not discussed arming Libya`s rebels. (*)
