PanARMENIAN.Net - The League of Arab States recognized on Thursday, August 25, Libya's Transitional Council and is ready to grant it membership of the organization, regional media quoted Arab League Secretary General Nabil Al-Araby as saying.

The new Libyan government will receive permanent membership in the Arab League, Al-Araby said, RIA Novosti reported.

A number of other African states, including Sudan, Egypt, Chad and Ethiopia, have also recognized the rebel Council of Libya as the North African state's sole legitimate government. The rebels announced that they had gained control of much of the Libyan capital on Tuesday, but whereabouts of Libyan leader, Muammar Gadhafi are still unknown.

The Transitional Council on Wednesday offered an amnesty, as well as a $1.3-million reward for anyone who captures or kills Gadhafi.

The uprising against Gaddafi's forty-year rule began in February. An international military operation "to protect civilians" in Libya began on March 19 following a UN resolution.
