Libya ruling council deputy to quit

Abdel Hafiz Ghoga, the deputy head of Libya\'s ruling National Transitional Council, told AFP on Sunday that he is resigning from his post. \"My resignation shows that the NTC is a tribune for fighting for a cause and not a governing body. We are not looking for posts,\" he said. Ghoga also told satellite broadcaster Al-Jazeera that he was resigning \"for national interests.\" He said in a telephone call with the channel that his decision comes after \"recent events,\" a reference to protests in the eastern city of Benghazi where protesters chanted slogans against him and opposed his presence in the council. Several NTC members contacted by AFP said they were unaware of Ghoga\'s resignation.
