Baku, September 12 (AZERTAC). Libya has resumed oil production, chairman of the NTC executive committee said. Mahmoud Jibril declined to tell reporters where, but added that he expects Libya to restart production in the western part of the country soon.

He also said leaders are in serious talks to form a new transitional government that would include members from across Libya, including areas of the country still under siege. The interim government will be created within 10 days, he said.

Saadi Gadhafi, a son of ousted Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, has arrived in Niger, an official said, as Libyan fighters tried to stamp out the last pockets of the former leader`s loyalists.

The new authorities arrested eight or nine men manning a pro-Gadhafi post but are not finding significant numbers of fighters still loyal to the old regime. Sirte remains firmly in loyalist hands, and the tribal leaders have refused to surrender the town to the National Transitional Council.
