Libya: Tony Blair agreed to train Gaddafi’s special forces in 'deal in the desert’ 10:00PM GMT 28 Feb 2011 Tony Blair used his final foreign trip as prime minister to sign a confidential deal with Muammar Gaddafi to train Libyan special forces and supply him with Nato secrets. A copy of the accord obtained by The Daily Telegraph shows that the two leaders agreed to co-operate on defence matters in a range of areas, including exchanging information about defence structures and technology. It was signed during the former Labour prime minister’s “Blair-well” tour of Africa in May 2007, in Gaddafi’s tent in the Libyan desert. Included in the document was an agreement on “co-operation in the training of specialised military units, special forces and border security units”. They also signed up to “exchanges of information on Nato and EU military and civil security organisations”. The document was personally signed by Mr Blair and Gaddafi. A passing reference to it was contained in a joint communiqué between the two countries, which was issued at the time and posted on the Foreign Office website before being removed a few weeks ago. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/8353501/Libya-Tony-Blair-agreed-to-train-Gaddafis-special-forces-in-deal-in-the-desert.html

How BP made friends with Muʿammar Gaddafi On Monday, BP CEO Bob Dudley dec February 24, 2011 With Libya’s enormous oil reserves – the largest in Africa with most of the country still unprospected – ever so tempting, BP had been trying to break into Libya for years. The company lobbied hard, utilising the weight and levers of the British foreign energy policy machinery, despite knowing precisely what Gaddafi stood for. Barely a year before BP signed its deal, many protestors were murdered during February 2006 demonstrations in Benghazi. Success arrived in May 2007, with then-newly crowned BP CEO Tony Hayward and Libya National Oil Company Chairman Shokri Ghanem signed the documents in Libya’s coastal town of Sirt. PM Tony Blair flew in to witness the event and Hayward describing his delight that “Our agreement is the start of an enduring, long-term and mutually beneficial partnership with Libya.“ remembersarowiwa.com/how-bp-made-friends-with-mu%CA%BFammar-gaddafi-on-monday-bp-ceo-bob-dudley-dec/

9/11 Whistleblower Susan Lindauer On Gadhaffi, CIA Drug Running in Lockerbie, and Israeli Bribes February 27th, 2011 In another ground breaking interview on The Intel Hub, former CIA Asset and 9/11 whistleblower Susan Lindauer discussed her visits to the Libyan Embassy in Washington this week, and revealed that she started talks for the Lockerbie Trial with Libya’s diplomats at the United Nations. Lindauer dished on Gadhaffi, Libya’s vendetta culture and how tribalism might have inspired Gadhaffi’s recent desperate gamble for survival. She also explains how the Lockerbie bombing was tied to the CIA’s involvement in heroin trafficking out of the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon during U.S. operations to rescue Terry Anderson and other hostages in Beirut. theintelhub.com/2011/02/27/explosive-information-released-by-911-whistleblower-cia-drug-running-and-israeli-bribes/

Britain trains 100 members of Gaddafi's feared police 8:00AM GMT 06 Mar 2011 More than 100 officers from Colonel Gaddafi's feared police force are currently in Britain to undergo training in advanced techniques. The arrangement is likely to prove controversial because of strong feelings among British police over Gaddafi's refusal to hand over the killer of Pc Yvonne Fletcher, the Metropolitan Police officer who was shot dead outside Libya's London embassy in 1984. ... As part of their 18-month course in Huddersfield, the Libyan officers will also receive training from a private company headed by a former Met Commissioner. Lord Stevens of Kirkwhelpington, who as John Stevens headed Scotland Yard from 2000 to 2005, is executive chairman of Axiom International, a forensics and police training specialist. Paul McKeever, chairman of the Police Federation which represents rank-and-file officers, said he was disappointed that British institutions were training Libyans. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/8363719/Britain-trains-100-members-of-Gaddafis-feared-police.html

'No comment' from MoD over SAS men captured in Libya 6 March 2011 Last updated at 04:44 ET The Ministry of Defence says it will not comment on Sunday Times claims that eight members of the SAS have been seized by rebel forces in Libya. Defence Secretary Liam Fox told the BBC a small diplomatic team ;D was in Benghazi and "they were in touch with them". Jon Leyne BBC News, Benghazi. My understanding is that they landed, possibly near somebody who they know as a British government supporter and that would have been some distance just outside Benghazi on a helicopter.
I don't know where the helicopter would have come from and I don't know the circumstances but you find in this area that very, very quickly somebody with a gun comes up to you.
The opposition here are, despite appearances, quite well organised, almost everybody's armed with guns, there are road blocks, there are patrols.
They are doing their best to keep in touch with each other, so word would have got around very, very quickly that this was happening and it would have been viewed as very, very suspicious.www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12658054

UK MP Chris Bryant calls for Prince Andrew to be sacked, close links to Saif Gaddafi Updated: 01 Mar 2011 PRINCE Andrew, Duke of York should be sacked as a British trade ambassador, a senior UK MP says. Shadow justice minister Chris Bryant claimed Andrew had close links to Saif Gaddafi, the son of Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. Prime Minister David Cameron said he would "look into" the connections between the Libyan regime and Andrew. Mr Bryant's demand follows a series of recent controversies involving the Duke, including being photographed walking in a park with a convicted sex offender. Andrew's official role is as a roving ambassador for British trade, a function for which he receives no salary but thousands of pounds each year in expenses and travel costs. www.whatsonxiamen.com/news17710.html

Silence since March 1st Today I just saw something that everyone else has known about for 10 days. E10, the Israeli Intelligence Phonetic Alphabet Station, the largest or second largest "numbers" operation in the world, has not transmitted since March first. The extensive network of ENIGMA members, which has followed every photon coming from E10 for years, reports only nil. mt-utility.blogspot.com/2011/03/e10-is-qrt.html

Libya: African mercenaries 'immune from prosecution for war crimes' African mercenaries hired by the Gaddafi regime to kill Libyan protesters would be immune from prosecution for war crimes due to a clause in this weekend's UN resolution that was demanded by the United States. The move was seen as an attempt to prevent a precedent that could see Americans prosecuted by the ICC for alleged crimes in other conflicts. While the US was once among the signatories to the court, George W. Bush withdrew from it in 2002 and declared that it did not have power over Washington. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/8350968/Libya-African-mercenaries-immune-from-prosecution-for-war-crimes.html9:16PM GMT 27 Feb 2011
