Egypt announces success in the mediation between Libya and Saudi Arabia
2005-01-01
The Egyptian Middle East news Agency said on Thursday that Egypt has succeeded in convincing each of Saudi Arabia and Libya to stop reciprocated media attacks in an attempt to contain relations of tension between the two states. The agency said that the reciprocated media attacks will be stopped as from Thursday m stressing that the Egyptian mediation succeeded actually in containing this situation.

Worthy mentioning that the crisis erupted between the two countries after Riyadh last week withdrew its ambassador from Tripoli and the expulsion of the Libyan ambassador accusing Libya of what it described the conspiracy to assassinate the Saudi crown prince Abdullah. The New York Times reported several months ago that the Libyan intelligence led in 2003 an assassination attempt that targeted the Saudi crown prince and the Libyan leader Muammar al-Qathafi was involved. The paper mentioned the names of two men that participated in the attempt. They are the American of Eritrean origin Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi and the officer in the Libyan intelligence Muhammad Ismael, who is still held in Saudi Arabia.
