Reprisal warning from Libya
NZPA-AFP Rome Libya might take reprisals against Britain and Sudan for the May 8 raid in Tripoli, the head of its embassy in Italy, Ali Attya, warned yesterday. “We know the training camps in Sudan for antiLibyan terrorists,” he said. “Libya has the right to neutralise them, and if there are Libyan reactions, the responsibility will fall solely on Sudan.” Mr Attya said, “The warning is directed equally to Britain, which closed our People’s Bureau in London and sent terrorists on to our territory with the help of the United States and Sudan.
Mr Attya said the May 8 attack in the Libyan capital near Colonel Gadaffi’s residence had been mounted by “terrorists recruited in Britain and West Germany and trained at Mandaraa in Sudan.”
