I didn't say that. I don't know if Libya about terrorism. I just said "Turkey didn't described Libya as a terrorist country".

I read articles about Pan Am flight. According some articles America never could prove that relative about Libya.

That's interesting you're talking about Osama bin Laden. I know America supported him before years... :)

However sure, Kaddafi is a dictator and I don't like him...

>Are you serious? Libya's role in terrorism is nothing more than American politics? Granted sanctions have been lifted due to Libya's actions since 9/11, but what about this list from http://www.cfr.org/publication/9363

>Among the attacks Libya has been implicated in are the following:

>The 1986 bombing of a West Berlin discotheque popular among American soldiers. The attack killed three people, including two U.S. servicemen; U.S. officials hold Libya responsible.
>The 1988 murder of 270 people on Pan Am Flight 103. In 2001, a Scottish court convened in the Netherlands convicted Libyan intelligence agent Abdul Basset al-Megrahi of murder for his role in the bombing. A second Libyan suspect was found not guilty.
>The 1989 bombing of a French airliner over Niger; in 1999, a French court convicted six Libyans for their roles in the attack.
>Libyan agents are also thought to have assassinated Libyan opposition politicians living in Britain in the 1980s and 1990s. And experts say Libya has backed plots to assassinate the presidents of Chad, Egypt, Sudan, Tunisia, and Zaire.

>Qaddafi has provided training, weapons, funding, safe haven, or other support to several Palestinian terrorist organizations and to the Irish Republican Army, the Basque separatist group ETA, and Sierra Leone’s Revolutionary United Front, experts say. In 1999, Libya helped negotiate the release of a group of international hostages held by the Abu Sayyaf Group, a Philippine terrorist group with ties to Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda network. Libya said it was being helpful, but the State Department warned that letting Abu Sayyaf receive ransom for hostages “served only to encourage further terrorism.”

>>Turkey never described Libya as a country supports terrorism. That's an american politics. Our firms work with Libya legally with government guarantee... When my uncle was working there is nothing any government guarantee... However in spite of government guarantee, turk firms are living payment problems with Libya today yet...
>>
>>>It may have to do with each government's (state-to-state) political relations at the time. In 2004, Bush lifted sanctions on Libya and Americans were allowed to work there once again. Other government's prohibited the monies in Libya from entering their country due to terrorist links. With politics constantly changing, I would be afraid that it would change in the midst of employment!

>>>>>Libya is not a good place for work... My uncle worked at Libya and he couldn't take his money from them. They said him "you can use that money just in there"... It was an old story but seem conditions worse than today...

>>>>It seems to depend where you work. My uncle worked there under state-to-state arrangement, no problem and good money, and that was some 25 years ago. A friend of mine worked a couple of years there recently, through a British company (I think, though it's possible there was another middleman), and he made pretty much as much as I do... and saved much more because there was nothing to spend it on :).
