London, United Kingdom (AHN) – British Foreign Secretary William Hague announced Sunday the cancelation of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s diplomatic immunity.

Speaking to reporters after the United Nations Security Council’s unanimous sanctions of the leader over his deadly crackdown on protestors, Hague also urged the veteran Libyan leader to step down for his country’s future.

In an interview with BBC TV, Hague said, “We have here a country descending into civil war, with atrocious scenes of killing of protesters and a government actually making war on its own so of course it is time for Col. Gaddafi to go. That is the best hope for Libya.”

Hague confirmed that he had already signed an order to cancel immunity for Gaddafi, his son Seif al-Islam Gaddafi, and other family members.

The son has been studying in Britain for most of the last decade.

The minister also said that his country was intensively working to determine the number of Britons still left in Libya after reports claimed that 300 British were still in the conflicted country.

On Saturday, British Special Forces launched a military operation to rescue dozens of oil workers from a remote desert location without Libyan authorities’ permission. However, the minister refused to say whether London will launch similar operations in coming days.
