Libya was also highly critical of Serbia's handover of Milosevic Thursday to an international war crimes tribunal, which the Libyan government said was in return for "a handful of dollars". The Iraqi satellite channel Monday quoted a spokesman for Iraq's foreign ministry as condemning "opportunist" behavior by the Serbian government. "As an independent state being proud of its independence, the republic of Iraq condemns this opportunist and paid-for act contravening the rules of international law the government of Serbia has undertaken," said the Iraqi spokesman. "This is meant to use the so-called international criminal courts as being an easy tool in the hands of America and the imperialistic West to impose double standards and selective criteria on the world. "And this takes place at a time when the real war criminals led by (Israeli Prime Minister Ariel) Sharon, killer of women and children at Sabra and Chatilla, are let loose to commit more crimes of genocide against the heroic Palestinian people." The Libyan satellite channel cited press reports of U.S. and other Western donor nations promising billions in aid to Yugoslavia on Friday, immediately following Milosevic's extradition. "This constitutes a serious juncture for intervention in the internal affairs of the (Yugoslav) state," the Libyan broadcast said. "And several legal establishments have emphasized the necessity of bringing to trial the terrorists who intentionally attempted to kill humanity such as Sharon and (former U.S. president Ronald) Reagan."
