 U.S. THREATENS TO NUKE LIBYA
 During April the Clinton Administration threatened a "surgical"
 nuclear strike on an alleged underground "chemical weapons" plant
 situated in the side of a mountain near Tarhunah, in north-western
 Libya. 
 	The U.S. Defence Secretary, Dr. William Perry, said the United
 States is fully prepared to take "more drastic measures" if Libya did
 not wield to American demands. 
 	On May 24, the New York Times reported that "although the U.S.
 constantly monitors every activity and development in Libya through a
 sophisticated satellite network in the sky and by covert agents on the
 ground, it did not fully comprehend what was going on until it became
 impossible to knock the plant out with acceptable weapons already in
 the arsenal." Among its options, the report states, the U.S. is
 considering the use of a "small" nuclear weapon that "could penetrate
 the mountain and destroy the plant without exterior fallout." 
 	Remarkably, no mainstream media expressed alarm that the U.S.
 is seriously considering a nuclear strike on another country,
 especially in the wake of huge outcry over French and Chinese nuclear
 testing.
 	During an interview with CNN, the Libyan leader Col. Muammar
 Al Qadhafi said the work on the mountain at Tarhunah is part of the
 Great Man-Made River Project (a massive irrigation program). 
 	"We wanted to connect the two branches of the Great Man-Made
 River from Tarhunah to Tripoli and a mountain stood in our way so we
 had to drill a tunnel for the pipes to pass through." He said Korean
 construction companies "could reveal the falsehood of American
 allegations." He added that if the work is so suspicious in American
 eyes, "then American permission will have to be sought before any work
 is done on Libyan land or in its mountains to avoid American
 allegations."
 	The U.S. is also pressuring Libya to hand over two men they
 claim were responsible for the 1988 Pan Am airliner bombing over
 Lockerbie. Although the case against the men lacks any evidence and
 has been shown by numerous international legal bodies to be flawed,
 the U.S. is continuing its vindictive campaign against the Libyan
 leader. Due to its refusal to hand over the two men to British or U.S.
 authorities, Libya has been under severe UN sanctions for the last
 four years.
