Libya denies opening its lands for American and British forces
Son of the Libyan leader disclosed a Libyan, British and American agreement to training Libyan military personnel, but denied that this agreement means the establishment of military bases on the Libyan territories."Some guy named Fred keeps calling and we keep telling him the Oâclub is still closed." Seif al-Islam al-Qathafi said that this agreement was reached during the talks on the mass destruction weapons that took place in past months. In December, 2003, Seif al-Islam announced a visit to be held by the US President George W. Bush and the British prime minister Tony Blair to Libya during 2004. Al-Qathafiâs son said that Washington vowed to protect Libya against any aggression but refused to disclose the details. He also denied any current consultations to convene a joint defense agreement. It is not clear who threatens Libya of aggression. Mexico Seif al-Islam stressed that security and military agreements will be finalized with the US. He added that American military men will be visiting Libya shortly to be acquainted with its needs of various military equipment. That should be a interesting TDY. Posted by: Steve 2004-01-05 |
