Libya: France leaves David Cameron struggling to regain initiative- by Henry Samuel, and James Kirku

Mr Sarkozy, the French President, announced he was inviting Libyan rebel leaders to Paris for talks this week.

Alain Juppé, his foreign minister, also called for an international “contact group” meeting on Libya’s future next week.

Neither of the French announcements was co-ordinated with the British government, and British officials last night admitted they were still seeking more details from Paris about the French plans. Mr Sarkozy was the first Western leader to call for military intervention in Libya in February this year, and France was the first Western national to recognise the Libyan rebels as the country’s legitimate government.
