NATO pounded Libya's capital on Tuesday, only hours after South Africa's president left following talks that produced only a commitment to a peace plan already rejected by the military alliance and rebels.South Africa's Jacob Zuma, representing the African Union, held talks on Monday with Muammar Gaddafi as NATO insisted that what it called the Libyan leader's reign of terror is nearing an end.And a day after eight top officers of Gaddafi's army announced their defection in Rome, Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini is expected to open a new consulate in the rebels' Benghazi bastion.Zuma said before he left the Libyan capital that Gaddafi was ready to implement the African Union plan to end the conflict between regime forces and rebels fighting to oust the strongman.Gaddafi insisted all Libyans be given a chance to talk among themselves to determine the country's future. Libyan state television reported fresh NATO air raids overnight against targets in Tripoli, the suburb of Tajura and Al-Jafra, a city south of the capital.
