A member of the Benghazi city council said the Libyan cities under rebel control have appointed an ex-justice minister to lead a temporary government, the Daily Mirror reported Sunday.

Meanwhile, the British government revoked the diplomatic immunity in Britain of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and his sons, Foreign Secretary William Hague said urging Gaddafi to step down. “Of course it is time for Col. Gaddafi to go,” Hague said in a BBC interview.

“That is the best hope for Libya and last night I signed a directive revoking his diplomatic immunity in the United Kingdom, but also the diplomatic immunity of his sons, his family, his household, so it’s very clear where we stand on his status as a head of state,” he said.

The Daily Mirror reported that Fathi Baja said Gaddafi opponents named Mustafa Abdel-Jalil to the provisional leadership post. Abdel-Jalil recently resigned from Gaddafi’s government in protest of the brutal suppression of protests.

The ex-minister declared Saturday he will work to establish a provisional government to take over from the current dictatorship. A local newspaper report suggests that the future government will be established in Benghazi which has been under rebel control for several days.

Last week, the former justice minister told Swedish newspaper Expressen that Gaddafi will commit suicide the way Adolf Hitler did at the end of World War II rather than surrender or flee.

“Gaddafi’s days are numbered. He will do what Hitler did – he will take his own life.”
