EU decides to sell Arms to Libya.
The EU decided last Monday to lift a decade-old arms embargo against Libya, acting mainly on pressure from Italy, which is keen to resume arms sales to the North African country. The sanctions, including an embargo on sales of tanks, jet fighters, bombers, explosives, guns and surface to air missiles, were imposed in 1986 for some reason, after the Guddafi government, the most aggressive regime in the Middle East at that time, bombed a Berlin discotheque frequented by US soldiers and bombed a Pan Am airliner over Lockerbie, Scotland killing 259 people.
The decision to renew arms sales to the country follows Guddafi's move last year to "dismantle its programs of weapons of mass destruction", according to the EU website.
Commenting the decision, a spokesman for Saddam Hussein, the very similar ex dictator of Iraq said that as it was now "only a matter of time" before his client's release from prison. Mr Hussein is said to be planning to make a fresh start as a business man importing arms from Libya.
