U.S. Investigates Ukraine-Libya Alliance
The State Department is investigating reports that Ukraine and Libya are working on a strategic alliance that could involve the transfer of weapons technology to the pro-terrorist regime in Libya, a department spokesman said.
`We're looking into it. We take it seriously,' spokesman Nicholas Burns said in response to a report of the Ukrainian-Libya cooperation in Monday's editions of The Washington Times.
Mr. Burns said the Clinton administration believes Ukraine will honor existing U.S. sanctions against Libya, but it will continue to watch the Libyan government to ensure it is not acquiring weapons technology.
