Too bad Interpol didn't ask EU Commissioner Dalli what he thinks
PA, this afternoon – Interpol has issued an international alert for Muammar Gaddafi and 15 other family members and close associates in a bid to help enforce sanctions against his regime.
The international police organisation issues the orange notice when an act or event poses a risk to public safety.
The alert is sent to Interpol’s 188 members around the world, providing law enforcement and border police information on the targeted individuals that can be used to block their movements and freeze their assets.
Interpol said today that Gaddafi and the other targeted individuals “have been identified as being involved in or complicit in planning attacks, including aerial bombardments, on civilian populations”.

Ahem, ‘close associates’?
Gaddafi, Chavez, Mugabe, Castro, Dalli?
There’s your friend on Xarabank…

How a US consulting firm used American academics to rehab Muammar Gaddafi’s image:

Prof. Nye, Barbour, Monitor Group–all pigs in the same trough. Ask Johnny, if he can get his snout out.
Daphne, put Dalli’s name forward for ‘akbar zib’ Euro-award.
The US government could save a lot of money and lives if only they would take advice from Reno Calleja.
According to him, the reason that we have never had a terrorist attack in Malta is because of our neutrality cause. Maybe the US (and indeed other countries) should include one in their constitution as well and it will put an end to terrorism at a stroke.
“Interpol has issued an international alert for Muammar Gaddafi and 15 other family members and close associates…”
Should that read, ‘…Muammar Gaddafi and 16 other family members and close friends’?
Let’s hope justice for certain people will be served sooner better than later.
I have been following most of the comments, following John Dalli’s remarks on the situation in Libya. What I would like your contributers, and maybe you, to tell me since when it is illegal for us Maltese to have investment in Libya? What did Dalli do wrong if he really invested in Libya? Why dont you say something against the 300 Maltes companies who also have interest in LIbya?
[Daphne – Nobody is saying that he did anything WRONG in investing in Libya or advising companies on how to do it. Incidentally, this is not speculation. He says so himself. What we are talking about here is his outrageous views on whether Gaddafi should stay or go, and on whether television scenes of carnage were faked by the international media for suspect ends. This views deserve condemnation whether he has investments and business interests in Libya or not, but when tacked onto the fact of those business interests and investments, they take on another slant altogether.]
Silvio Loporto, tghid xejn (don’t say anything) ghax taqta’ figura isbah (you’ll leave a better impression).
On a lighter note, the police are going to have a hard time distinguishing between the real and the fake in Nadur today. I am expecting some Gaddafis there.
