LIBYA No Medical Plot A bizarre case against seven foreign medical workers took another twist when a Libyan judge found no evidence to support the charges against them - after three years in jail. The People's Court in Tripoli charged a Palestinian doctor and six Bulgarian medical workers last July with a plot to undermine state security by infecting children with the aids virus. Their lawyers argued that poor hospital hygiene caused the infections. The case has been referred to an ordinary criminal court...

...NETHERLANDS New Evidence Five judges in the Lockerbie appeal case heard new evidence that lawyers say casts doubt on the conviction of a Libyan for the downing of a Pan Am airliner over Scotland in 1988.

Perhaps you've heard that Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, ex-Mr. Terror himself, is supporting President Bush's war on Osama bin Laden. In an e-mail interview with TIME, the Libyan leader's ambitious son, Seif al Islam (Sword of Islam), or just Seif to his friends, elaborates: "The kind of terrorism that Libya was accused of is different from today's terrorism." How's that? Seif, 29, an architect with a business degree who heads a charitable foundation, maintains that his father supported freedom fighters, like Nelson Mandela and Yasser Arafat, now given "red-carpet" treatment...
