| September 5, 2008 Rice, Gadhafi meet in house U.S. bombed 22 years ago
|
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) - The United States and Libya sealed a
historic turnaround in their troubled relations with a meeting
between Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Libyan leader
Moammar Gadhafi.
The mercurial Gadhafi welcomed Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice to his compound with incense and a genteel bow. The compound
in the Libyan capital of Tripoli is the same one that the United
States bombed in 1986 in retaliation for what president Reagan
claimed was Libya's involvement in a terror bombing that killed two
U.S. servicemen.
Rice is spending only a few hours in Tripoli on Friday, but the
visit represents Gadhafi's rehabilitation after renouncing
terrorism and giving up weapons of mass destruction.
