Description | Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has invited US President George W Bush to visit Libya, a top US senator says.
Senator Richard Lugar was in Libya as the US and Tripoli begin to rebuild ties after decades of hostility.
The US began to ease sanctions on Libya last year after Col Gaddafi abandoned a nuclear weapons programme and paid compensation for the Lockerbie bombing.
Speaking as Mr Lugar's two-day visit ended, Col Gaddafi's son called for a process of national reconciliation.
Mr Lugar is the highest-ranking US official to visit Libya in decades.
