Libya News and Views Monday, 17 September, 2001: Libyan leader Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi has called for an international conference on terrorism, saying past calls to that effect from Libya and Egypt had remained unheeded. Qadhafi was speaking at a public rally in Soloug, 30 miles south of Benghazi. The event marked the 70th anniversary of the death of nationalist hero Omar al-Mukhtar, who was captured by the Italian occupying forces in 1931 and hanged in Soloug. "We must convene an international conference to study the roots of terrorism...and reach a consensus on the definition of terrorism, because, for instance, Israelis accuse Palestinians of terrorism and vice versa. So what is terrorism?" Qadhafi said. [Reuters] _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
