The Foreign and Commonwealth Office can announce that the UK Government has today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Government of Libya to facilitate deportation of persons suspected of activities associated with terrorism. The MOU was signed in Tripoli by Her Majesty's Ambassador to Libya, Anthony Layden and the Libyan Acting Secretary for European Affairs, Abdulati Ibrahim al-Obidi.
The Government believes that the assurances provided by this type of MOU should enable the British Courts to allow the deportation of foreign nationals who threaten national security or whose presence is not conducive to the public good; and that such deportations will uphold the UK's international obligations.
Sounds like a good idea to me. If you work it right, maybe you can dump anybody with a turban and a detonator in Libya and let them handle the problem. I'm sure Muammar could think of something he'd like you to do in return. |
