CAIRO, Aug 25 (Reuters) - The head of Libya's rebel council on Thursday urged people in parts of the country still under Muammar Gaddafi's control to "join the revolution" and said he welcomed talks with groups in those areas to avoid more killing.
"I call on our people in the areas that have not been liberated ... to join the revolution," Mustafa Abdel Jalil said at a press conference in the eastern city of Benghazi aired by Al Jazeera television.
"We welcome any negotiations from any community or area, whether directly or indirectly, to avoid more killings," Abdel Jalil said. "Libya is big enough for all, and all Libyans will be treated equally. The (national) wealth is for Libyans and will be distributed equally on Libyan soil."
