LONDON, May 12 (Xinhua) -- British Prime Minister David Cameron on Thursday invited the rebel Libyan Interim National Transitional Council to establish a London office during a meeting with council chairman Mustafa Abdul Jalil.

Cameron said the British presence in the opposition-held port of Benghazi would also be boosted.

"These steps continue our very clear intention to work with the council to ensure Libya has a safe and stable future, free from the tyranny of the Gaddafi regime," the prime minister said.

Camerson said Britain is completing plans to transfer several million pounds worth of equipment to the police in Benghazi and also will help improve the council's public broadcasting capacities.

PS: The Fox story was factual. (I guess they screw up sometimes.)
