LONDON (AP) - Divisions over tactics and vision split Libyan opposition groups in exile, but participants at a two-day conference agreed Sunday to unite under a ``national accord'' aimed at ousting Moammar Gadhafi.

In a final declaration, the groups addressed the United Nations, saying the global body was responsible for restoring Libya's constitution. The charter was drafted in 1951 as part of a U.N. resolution - but Gadhafi froze it after assuming power in a military coup and replaced it with martial law.

``Bringing back constitutional legitimacy to Libya is a major factor towards building a stable political life,'' the declaration read.

Pro-Libyan demonstrators entered the hotel where opposition members were meeting to try to disrupt proceedings.

Carrying the green Libyan flag and chanting pro-Gadhafi slogans, the protesters - mainly students - were asked by police and hotel security to leave the hotel.

3. You're probably right, Libya has oil

and there are US sanctions because Qaddafi won't totally bow down to US. The oil companies can't get the oil with the sanctions, so new regime. The whole world is starting to look like this, I'm worried about what they are going to do to Venezuela.
