Gaddafi & State Sponsored Terrorism

Our Own Testimony

Over the past three decades the Libyan regime of Col.Gaddafi has become synonymous with the abhorrent phenomenon of “State Sponsored Terrorism”.

Until recently, when his regime was brought to account by the international community, Gaddafi boasted openly his support of what he terms “Revolutionary Elements” around the world.

Agents of the regime have been convicted in many capitals of the world for crimes ranging from hijacking to attempts on the lives of heads of states and politicians of foreign countries.  However, the regime was most successful in the assassinations of political opponents.  Agents of the regime have killed exiled Libyans in London, Rome and Berlin, to name but a few documented and well publicised cases.

Immediately after announcing the establishment of the Libyan Constitutional Union (LCU) in Manchester, England on 7^th October 1981, known members of the LCU began experiencing the wrath of the regime and its notorious “Hit Squads”.  The chairman of the LCU and his family had at one point, in March 1984, to evacuate their residence on the advice of Greater Manchester Police, after the Police lost track of some members of one of the hit squads operating in the city at the time.  The same members were later convicted of involvement in the explosions that shock the Whalley Range area of the city in the early hours of 11^th  March1984.  The family were later put under 24 hour armed police guard for several months.

The following is a documentation of that era through press reports, and newspaper clippings.

Incitement to assassinate

Mohamed Ben Ghalbon

(Translation from Arabic)

 (Al-Watan Al-Arabi Magazine : Issue No.202 : 26 Nov-1 Dec 1982)

British security forces received information of a secret meeting held on Saturday 6^th November 1982 in Manchester. The aim of this meeting was to promote the assassination of one of the exiled leaders the Libyan opposition.

The meeting was held in the city’s Grand Hotel by invitation of Abdel-Hamid Bin-Musa who is in charge of students in the Libyan revolutionary committees.

Bin-Musa told the audience that Libyan students living in the city are urged to take part in safeguarding the revolution and protecting its achievements. And that the first step begins with disposing of one of its enemies, Mohamed Ben Ghalbon chairman of the Libyan Constitutional Union, one the Libyan opposition groups, who is living in the city.

A long discussion ensued on the subject then Bin-Musa called upon the students to execute this task before the the end of the. He also urged total secrecy.

What Bin-Musa hadn’t figured was that details of this meeting were relayed to the British security forces -which in turn informed Ben Ghalbon- and stepped up measures for his safety.
