...been on a roller coaster and has never reached the mil-lion-barrels-a-day level that Hammer once forecast. The Libyan government ordered it cut from a high of 800,000 bbl. daily early in 1970 to 320,000 bbl. now. The revolutionary government of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has been distressed by charges cited in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. that Occidental had won its concessions partly by f unneling money to officials of deposed King Idris, one a former minister who is now in jail. In 1971 Occidental lost $88 million on a mistimed tanker charter venture...
...been refused by Maltese Prime Minister Dom Mintoff. The fiery Mintoff, in rebuffing the routine payment from the Bank of England, 1) demanded higher rent from Britain; 2) intimated that he would evict the troops unless he received it; 3) flew to Tripoli seeking support from Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi; and 4) tried to con other NATO nations that share in the rent payments into putting more pressure on London. What made the whole thing so familiar was that Mintoff had followed essentially the same script a year ago in a comic-opera confrontation that rocked on for nine months...
Scant Help. In his efforts to pacify the Egyptians, Sadat has so far received scant help from his Arab friends. Muammar Gaddafi, leader of neighboring Libya, last week marked the eighth anniversary of the Palestinian guerrilla movement with a speech in which he called for a united Arab front to annihilate Israel. It was hard to tell whether the pronouncement should be taken seriously. Gaddafi often improvises Libyan foreign policy as he speaks, and his erratic, impassioned rhetoric is largely discounted, even by his allies. Not so the actions of Syria, Sadat's other partner in the embryonic three...
...Israelis alive with gas in the soil of Germany." He once admired the Israelis. Only a year ago, while visiting Jerusalem, the Moslem Amin had asked the Israeli air force to fly him to Mecca. Since then, however, after receiving a promise of aid from Libya's Muammar Gaddafi, he has expelled all Israelis from Uganda, including military advisers that had helped train the Ugandan army, Amin's power base. Now he demanded that all Israelis, like the Ugandan Asians, be resettled in Britain...
Terror for Export. Black September has been difficult to combat partly because its members operate in extremely small cells. It gets its money from Al Fatah-which is largely underwritten these days by Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi-as well as directly from other governments and wealthy Palestinians. Whether Arafat knows what goes on is a closely held secret. Many young commandos now consider Arafat a reactionary, and they may deliberately ignore him when laying their plans. Associates say that Arafat was genuinely surprised and upset when he was told of the assassination of Wasfi Tell-though that could have been...
