TRIPOLI, Libya — A senior aide to one of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s sons

TRIPOLI, Libya — A senior aide to one of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s sons has held secret talks in London with British authorities, a friend

of the aide said Friday, as his government dismissed rebel talk of a cease-fire as a thinly veiled invitation to surrender.

The London talks were led by Mohamed Ismail, a senior aide to Seif al-Islam el-Qaddafi, a British-educated son of Colonel Qaddafi and the

colonel’s heir apparent. Mr. Ismail’s trip came just days after the flight to London of one of the colonel’s closest allies, Moussa

Koussa, sent tremors of anxiety through the Qaddafi government.

A friend of Mr. Ismail’s, speaking on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to reporters, said the aide was on an

official mission, and British officials said Friday that after several days in London he had already returned to Tripoli.

But the exact timing and purpose of Mr. Ismail’s mission was not divulged, and the mystery surrounding his trip added to a sense of tension

and uncertainty in Tripoli, the Libyan capital, after two weeks of Western airstrikes intended to protect rebel-held territory and pressure

the Qaddafi government.

Bursts of gunfire broke out before dawn in the streets near Colonel Qaddafi’s compound, and two witnesses said they saw “pools of blood”

on the ground, but the cause of the firefight could not be determined. The Qaddafi government has been distributing weapons to many Libyan

citizens for use in their own defense, and its armed militia and plainclothes police are omnipresent in Tripoli.

The Qaddafi forces also easily dispersed a renewed rebel attempt to advance along the eastern coast while continuing their shelling of the

rebel-held city of Misurata in the west. Residents speaking by telephone said government forces fired tank and artillery shells at an

industrial district near the city’s port, apparently in an attempt to shut it down, destroying storehouses of food in the process.

Western warships had recently opened the port by chasing away Libyan coast guard vessels, and the arrival of the first-aid shipments promised

to make it a lifeline for the besieged city.
