Libya News and Viwes
Wednesday, 28 November, 2001: A charitable foundation run by Libyan leader Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi's son has asked the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross to help it repatriate Afghan Arabs loyal to terror suspect Osama bin Laden to their home countries. In a letter Monday to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and the ICRC, the Qadhafi Foundation said cooperation among the three organizations was required "because of the lack of trust between the northern alliance and the Arab Afghans and other foreigners." "We call on you to help facilitate our mission for the repatriation of Arab Afghans and foreigners to their countries, especially following reports that some of them have no ties to terrorism and now live a very hard life," said the organization, chaired by Saif el-Islam al-Qadhafi. [AP] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wednesday, 28 November, 2001: The head of the 22-member Arab League said on Tuesday that Arabs would not stand for any attack on Iraq as an extension of the U.S. "war on terrorism". Amr Moussa, secretary-general of the Arab League, was speaking a day after U.S. President Bush demanded Baghdad let international arms inspections resume or face unspecified consequences. "We do not accept striking Iraq or any other Arab country," Moussa said. There have been concerns in the region that Washington might launch strikes against Arab countries such as Sudan, Libya, Iraq and Syria.
