UK freezes Gaddafi's billion pounds

Britain is to freeze the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's 20 billion pounds in London within couple of days, according to the country's papers.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Britain will seize Gaddafi's assets, commercial properties and a 10 million pounds mansion in London soon. This move helps in pushing Gaddafi to give up the power.

A Whitehall source said: "The first priority is to get British nationals out of Libya. But then we are ready to move in on Gaddafi's assets, the work is under way. This is definitely on the radar at the highest levels."

Recently, Saif Gaddafi, Gaddafi's son, has asked Tony Blair, the former British Prime Minister, to help their regime in 'crushing their enemies'.

"He is peacemaker in the Middle East, and should be able to use his talents for peacemaking here. We need his diplomatic skills now as we set about crushing our enemies."

"It is time for the international community to bring peace to Libya and Tony Blair could be at the forefront of this process. Tony Blair is a good friend who would put the country on a stable footing," he added.

Gaddafi's son considers Blair as a good friend of Gaddafi, while MPs and critics say he should not be 'good friend' of the Libyan dictator.

Recently, the former Libya's justice minister Mustafa Abdel-Jalil has revealed that Colonel Gaddafi, Libyan leader, had ordered the 1988 Lockerbie Pan AM bombing himself.
