Libyan Muslim Brothers criticize decision to give up armament programs
Libya, Politics, 12/27/2003

The banned Muslim Brothers groups in Libya considered the announcement made by Tripoli government to give up armament programs of non traditional weapons as an attempt to solve its external problems at any price.

In a statement, the group considered the Libyan decision as an evidence on miscalculation in spending billions of dollars on armament, at the expense of the prosperity of the Libyan people, and that the decision is taken under the complete absence of the Libyan people participation in such decisions.

The statement said that the issue of traditional weapons is of concern of the future of the Arab region as a whole, noting that it was better for Libya to have had coordinated with the Arab states to this effect.

Libya had announced surprisingly last Friday, after nine months of secret negotiations with the Americans and the British, that it will engage in programs to develop nuclear or chemical weapons.
