Please note that while Kusa was travelling to Britain, the staff at the Libyan embassy in Britain were being sent away. He probably informed Britain and its Allies about some imminent terrorist attack. We will be informed in due time.
I agree with Troy.

I agree with Troy. Koussa must have done his homework before going to Britain.

How on earth did he get away with it? On the ther hand, why Kusa’s departure spells, for Shalgam at least, the end of the regime is another thing I don’t understand

He’s a sort of Rudolf Hess who during the WWII flew to Scotland with the vague hope of achieving peace. He finished up as a prisoner in Berlin under the Allies and died a few years ago without being reprieved.

Scottish authorities have officially request to interview Musa Kusa over 1988 Lockerbie bombing in which 259 were killed.

A Libyan regime spokesman speaking today about Musa Kusa: “He is a tired old man with health problems. His body could not take the pressure. We gave him permission to leave for medical treatment in Tunisia.”

Frankie, we’re talking about the ex head of Gaddafi’s security and secret service, not ‘Ganni tal-hanut tal-kantuniera’.

TRIPOLI, March 31, 2011 (AFP) – The Libyan government on Thursday confirmed the resignation of foreign minister Mussa Kussa and said he was allowed to leave the country for medical treatment in neighbouring Tunisia.

It is very obvious that this BBC commentator does not have a clue about this man Koussa.

He must have mistaken him for a cleaner or a security guard at the foreign ministry in Tripoli.

Koussa has been, for thirty years plus, one of the “brains” of the regime and the eminence grise behind Gaddafi.

There is no way he would have left unless he was absolutely sure that the end was nigh.

1047: UK Foreign Secretary William Hague, at a briefing in London, has said Moussa Koussa has not been offered any immunity from prosecution. He said Mr Moussa had been his channel of communication to the Libyan regime in recent weeks. He reiterated previous calls for Col Gaddafi to go, and again encouraged those around Col Gaddafi to abandon him.

That won’t be much use once someone else gets hold of Gaddafi’s head.
