Thursday, 11 January, 2001: Libyan leader Col. Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi has called on all the scientific and economic potentialities of Libya to mobilise in order to build the future and solve the country's problems, through planning mechanisms instituted by the general planning council. Chairing in Tripoli Tuesday a session of this planning body, which opened its first ordinary meeting of 2001 Sunday, Qadhafi emphasised the importance of the participation of all actors in solving problems examined within research units of universities and research and study centres, with a view to enabling experts of all fields to contribute in Libya's recovery and development. [PANA] Thursday, 11 January, 2001: Legal experts monitoring the Lockerbie bombing trial said Wednesday prosecutors had presented a strong case but were divided over whether it will be enough to convict the two Libyans accused. The prosecution is relying on circumstantial evidence and there is no forensic proof or direct witness definitively tying either man to the bomb. Defence lawyers will begin their summing-up early Thursday. It is expected to last into early next week, when the judges will likely adjourn to consider their verdict. [AFP] Thursday, 11 January, 2001: Libyan leader Colonel Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi met visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan Wednesday night. The Chinese minister expressed appreciation for Libya's fair position on the issue of China peaceful reunification as well as Libya's efforts to settle the African disputes and promote the African integration. He renewed China's firm opposition to the economic sanctions against Libya, voicing hope that the efforts of the international community would lead to total removal of the sanctions very soon.
