Libyan interim PM Mahmoud Jabril visited Maliki a couple of weeks ago with the info. As I predicted, Sunni politicians are seeing this as bogus. Indeed, such a plot seems totally unrealistic given that the Shiite government completely controls the security forces. Gaddhafi was generally delusional, as we know.<br /><br />Weird story, anyway.Cervanteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11302076828795198187noreply@blogger.com
