  • Story Text: Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar meets with
    Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in Tripoli, Libya.




    Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar of Spain met on
    Thursday (September 18) with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

    Aznar is the first Western leader to visit Libya since the
    imposition of United Nations sanctions more than a decade
    ago.

    Aznar visited the Bab Lel Aziziya palace in Tripoli,
    bombed in 1986 by the United States when Gadaffi was there.

    Gadaffi and Aznar conducted a meeting in a tent nearby the
    palace.

    After the meeting, Gadaffi presented Aznar with a horse.

    At a news conference after the meeting, Aznar said that
    Libya is rejoining the international community, but still
    has to resolve matters of terrorism and weapons trade.
