Libya’s leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi
who will continue annoying the world with the spelling varieties of his name
has said his country sought to develop weapons of mass destruction capabilities but will dismantle this programme completely, Prime Minister Tony Blair has announced. "This decision is an historic one and a one of the less dumber courageous one and I applaud it," Mr Blair said. Colonel Gaddafi had told him the process of dismantling the programme would be not supervised by Hans Blix "transparent and verifiable", the prime minister said in a statement from Durham Cathedral.
The range of all Libya’s missiles would be restricted to "no more then 300km", he added. The US and its allies have long known suspected that Libya had not so secret chemical and bio-weapons programmes, however Libya always denied such allegations saying it had only facilities for baby milk factory pharmaceutical or agricultural research. |
