利比亞反對派與美國官員會晤

A delegation from Libya's Transitional National Council sits down for talks with U.S. officials in Washington on Friday, a day after getting a major political boost from Britain.

The opposition group members will meet with national security adviser Tom Donilon and other senior U.S. officials. Council head Mustafa Abdul-Jalil says the group is seeking political recognition.

On Thursday, Britain invited the rebel group to open an office in the country. British leaders also promised to provide the Libyan opposition with more communications equipment, bulletproof vests and uniforms. Meanwhile, NATO says allied warships repelled a naval attack by forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi on Thursday. NATO says British and Canadian warships beat back speedboats that were trying to attack the port in Misrata.利比亞過渡全國委員會的代表團星期五和美國官員在華盛頓開會。一天前，這個代表團得到英國的重大政治支持。這個反對派組織將和美國國家安全顧問湯姆.多尼倫和其他高級美國官員會面。該委員會負責人阿卜杜勒.加里爾說，該組織正在尋求政治認可。
