Libya requests US and Britain to extradite two men
Libya, Politics, 10/1/1997

Libyan President Moammar Gaddafi requested that the USA and Britain extradite two men officially indicted with murdering two Libyan nationals before the two countries request Libya to extradite the Libyan nationals indicted with exploding a Pan American plane over Lockerbie in 1988. The Libyan leader stated this while he was receiving the President of Niger Ibrahim Bari and the President of Liberia Charles Taylor.

Gaddafi mentioned that Libya has no political problems with the western countries but it has religious and racial problems with them as it is the victim of religious bigotry and the inhumane policies of the west.

He stated that the USA and Britain should hand over those criminals who are responsible for massacres in Tripoli and Benghazi in 1986 before they speak about Lockerbie. He also requested to get those who assassinated Emad "Dodi" Al Fayad who he claims was murdered last month with Princess Diana. Gaddafi considers Al Fayad to be a Libyan citizen who immigrated to Alexandria, Egypt.

Gadaffi added that the world will not accept prejudice, and it will not accept that the American and the British citizens are not human beings and that their blood is not the same as tha of Libyans. He asserted that his country will stick to the UN Charter and international law. He mentioned that he supports solving problems in Iraq through peaceful means.

American military planes bombarded Tripoli and Benghazi in 1986 in response to the bombing of the night club "La Belle" in Berlin in 1986 which was masterminded and carried out by Libyans.
