Muammar rejects Arab League advances...
Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi rejected pleas to reconsider his country's withdrawal from the Arab League, prompting the grouping to announce "intensive consultations" with its other 21 members over his demands. "What're we gonna do now, Mahmoud? He sez all we do is talk!" "I dunno, Abu. Maybe we should consult..." "I have not succeeded in convincing the Libyan party to go back on its decision," League chief Amr Mussa told reporters here after a meeting with Kadhafi lasting more than an hour. Mussa had pulled out all the stops in his bid to win over the Libyan leader, promising that the League would listen to his concerns more attentively but also warning him of the seriousness of a pullout. He talked up a storm, in fact. He still hasn't figured why Muammar threw him out. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-10-27 |
