I liked this report from an African point of view.
"Those who feel irritated by our friendship with President Gaddafi can go jump in the pool," he said.
Instead, Mr Mandela played a key role in ending Col Gaddafi's pariah status in the West by brokering a deal with the UK over the 1988 Lockerbie bombing. >>
According to Pepe Escobar from Sao Paolo, Brazil, NATO wanted Ghaddafi dead a long time ago as the last remaining impediment in turning the Mediterranean into a NATO lake. We are now going to see Al Quaeda, and other Wahhabi jehadists move into Libya fast. They are already destroying centuries-old Muslim Sufi saints' shrines.
Though Libyan money had flown to Bangladesh in the last decades of 20th century in the form of charitable institutions manned by Jamaat, I seriously wonder whether Ghaddafi would have financed Mr. S. A. Hannan and his Jamaati gong who are clearly piggybacking Uncle Sam and the Union Jack these days. Notice the huge help they atr getting from Britain and State Dept. in obstructing the procedure of the 1971 War Crimes Tribunal in Dhaka.
