 Moamer Gaddafi has complained that Western countries have failed to properly compensate Libya for scrapping its nuclear arms programme, and said that as a result, countries like Iran and North Korea would not follow his lead.
Speaking on the 30th anniversary of his declaration of Libya as a Jamahiriyah (state of the masses), | Gaddafi told the BBC in an interview broadcast late on Friday that the West had failed to help transform his nuclear weapons programme into nuclear power. |
Gaddafi told the BBC in an interview broadcast late on Friday that the West had failed to help transform his nuclear weapons programme into nuclear power. “This should be a model to be followed, but Libya is disappointed because the promises given by America and Britain so that we could give up our capabilities were not fulfilled,” the BBC website quoted Gaddafi as saying. “And therefore those countries said ‘we are not going to follow Libya’s example because Libya abolished its programme without any compensation’,” he added. |
