Monday, 26 March, 2001: Libyan leader Col. Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi arrived Sunday in the Jordanian capital of Amman to take part in Tuesday's Arab summit. Qadhafi was received at the airport by Jordan's King Abdullah II and was the first Arab leader to arrive in the kingdom for the summit. The Libyan leader's participation in the first so-called ordinary Arab summit to be held in more than a decade came after he refused to attend an emergency high-level meeting in Cairo in October that focused on the bloody confrontations between the Palestinians and Israeli forces in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. One of the draft resolutions being drawn up by the ongoing Arab foreign ministers preparatory meeting to be presented to the summit, the Arab leaders call on the U.N. Security Council to immediately lift the economic sanctions against Libya. [UPI] _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
