Sudanese minister meets Libyan leader in Tripoli

CAIRO/KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Karti flew into the Libyan capital on Monday for talks with the leader of a Tripoli-based government, witnesses said.

Karti met in a hotel with Omar al-Hassi, prime minister of a government which has not been recognized by the United Nations or most major foreign governments.

Tripoli is under control of a rival government and parliament which has forced the internationally-recognized Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thinni to work from a town in the east.
