米国国務省は BP が権益取得の見返りにロッカビー事件の犯人の早期釈放を保証したと
いう証拠は見つけられなかったことを明らかにした。
Thursday, 30 September, 2010: The US State Department says it has found no evidence that oil
company BP tried to secure the early release of the Lockerbie bomber. The US Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations is examining claims that BP helped to secure the release of
Abdelbaset al-Megrahi from a Scottish prison to safeguard an oil exploration deal with Libya.
But State Department spokeswoman Nancy McEldowney says there is no evidence of that. "We
have examined all available State Department records and have not identified any further
materials beyond publicly available statements and correspondence concerning attempts by BP
or other companies to influence matters related to Megrahi's transfer," she said. The bombing of
Pan Am Flight 103 over the Scottish town of Lockerbie in 1988 killed 270 people, mostly
Americans. [ABC]

・Thursday, 23 September, 2010: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held a 30-minute meeting
with her Libyan counterpart in New York on Tuesday, but she did not bring up the case of
Lockerbie bombing convict Abdel Baset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi. State Department spokesman
Philip Crowley confirmed on Tuesday evening that Clinton did not mention Megrahi during
what he described as “a relatively brief meeting” with Foreign Minister Mussa Kussa. Instead,
the meeting, held in Clinton’s hotel on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly, dealt with
the situation in Sudan, the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, and Libya’s “desire for broader
relations,” he told reporters. [CNS]
・Tuesday, 28 September, 2010: WASHINGTON - A key US Senate panel will hold a
long-awaited hearing Wednesday on the controversial release of the Lockerbie bomber, the
lawmaker scheduled to chair the session announced Monday. The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee "will focus on the circumstances surrounding the terrorist's release, including
possible influence of commercial interests," according to the office of Democratic Senator
Robert Menendez. In August 2009, Scotland's devolved government released Libyan
Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi -- the only man convicted in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing
-- on compassionate grounds after he was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer and was
thought to have just three months to live. But Megrahi, convicted over the downing of the Pan
Am jumbo jet which killed 270 people, most of them US nationals, is still alive in Libya,
sparking fury among Americans who believe he should never have been released. [AFP]

Monday, 27 September, 2010: MILAN - The ouster of Alessandro Profumo from the top post at
Unicredit this week has sparked concern about future governance at Italy's largest bank as other
shake-ups rattle the European banking world. Profumo's dramatic exit following a shareholder
rebellion over Libya's growing stake in the bank rocked Italy's financial elite and weighed down
Unicredit's share price at a time when the country's economy is being scrutinised by investors
because of its high debt levels. Profumo, who oversaw a major international expansion by the
bank in central and eastern Europe, resigned late on Tuesday after losing a shareholder
confidence vote during a four-hour board meeting. [AFP]

more detailed medical explanation of how Mr. Megrahi won his freedom and Scottish officials
who are declining to provide one. Securing Release: Megrahi's Medical Saga A review of the

even more conflict between the U.S. and Scotland, particularly surrounding the details of Mr.
Megrahi's prognosis and the question of whether he began chemotherapy treatments before or
after he was released by the Scots. [Wall Street Journal]

Thursday, 30 September, 2010: SHANGHAI, Sept 29 (Reuters) - A son of Libyan leader
Muammar Gaddafi who is seen as a potential successor to his father accused Libya's
government of ineptitude on Wednesday, highlighting splits within the oil exporter's
ruling elite. Saif al-Islam Gaddafi leads a reformist camp in Libya which is locked in a

struggle for influence with an old guard including senior figures within his father's own
entourage. He attacked the government after visiting the Libyan pavilion at the World
Expo, an international exhibition, in the Chinese city of Shanghai. Saif al-Islam, who
holds no official post, said he personally oversaw Libya's display at the Expo because
the government failed to take sufficient interest. "The Libyan government did not even
bother to send a junior employee to attend Libya's day at the exhibition," he told
reporters. "That shows that there is no state in Libya." [Reuters]

State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) and its Middle East
Partnership Initiative (Mepi), are each providing the International Organization for Migration in
Geneva with $500,000 to help Libya improve its provisions for migrant workers. The money
will be used to “build and consolidate the capacity of government bodies and civil society in
Libya to help address irregular migration and protect the most vulnerable migrants in the North
African country, including victims of trafficking,” says the IOM. The country has between 1
and 1.5 million irregular migrants, drawn to Libya because it is close to southern Europe, but
also because of good demand for unskilled labour and the strength of the local economy,
according to the IOM. [Genevalunch]

the Libyan intelligence service between August 2007 and May 13, 2010, the day of their arrest
here in Germany," said Robert Baeuml, a spokesman for the Berlin justice authorities. Baeuml
said the spying was "on a personal level" and "there was no technical eavesdropping involved".
"There were attempts to contact opposition members through personal contacts and gaining
their trust in order to gather information," he said. [Aljazeera]

Friday, 24 September, 2010: ALGIERS (Reuters) - Libya's government said on Thursday it had
given Hess a five-year extension on its exploration and production license off Libya's coast. The
license is for Area 54, about 480 km (300 miles) off the Libyan coast in the Sirte basin, where
the company discovered hydrocarbons in 2008 on the Arous Al-Bahar prospect. Hess acquired
the license in 2005. A statement posted on the Libyan government's Internet site said the license

spy scandal was allowed to leave Libya late on Tuesday. “We have been informed that there are
no further restrictions preventing [Douglas] O'Reilly from leaving the country,” Catherine
Loubier, a spokeswoman for Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon, said in an emailed
statement. It wasn’t immediately clear when Mr. O’Reilly would leave Tripoli. Earlier,
Canadian diplomats had said only that an unnamed citizen was being “prevented” from leaving
Libya, and being made to stay in his Tripoli hotel room while local authorities pursued an
espionage investigation. According to an article published in the Libyan newspaper Oea, a
Canadian named “Douglas Oriali” – the name was apparently mistranslated – had been placed
under surveillance by Libyan authorities who didn’t believe his claims he was a simple touring
archaeologist concerned about a new British Petroleum offshore rig. [The Globe and Mail]

Wednesday, 22 September, 2010: The Libyan economy is heavily dependent on the
hydrocarbon industry which, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), accounted
for over 95 percent of export earnings and an estimated 80 percent of fiscal revenues in 2008 –
preliminary 2009 data and short-term forecasts indicate that these figures will remain relatively
stable through 2014. According to the Oil and Gas Journal (OGJ), Libya holds around 44 billion
barrels of oil reserves, the largest in Africa, and slightly over 54 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of
natural gas reserves. In 2009, total oil production (crude plus liquids) was approximately 1.8
million barrels per day (bbl/d). The Libyan government plans to increase its oil reserves,
production capacity, and further develop the natural gas sector in the medium-term as the
country continues to recover from over a decade of U.S. and international sanctions. The United
Nations and the United States lifted sanctions on Libya in 2003 and 2004, respectively. In 2006,
the United States rescinded Libya’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism. Since then,
international oil companies have stepped up investments in hydrocarbon exploration and
production despite some degree of regulatory uncertainty. [EurAsia Review]

Flora was among the 270 victims of the bombing, yet Swire remains convinced of Al Megrahi’s
innocence. Al Megrahi served eight years of a 20-year sentence, and was released on
compassionate grounds last year after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and given only
months to live. Swire met him last weekend in a hospital ward in Tripoli, where he is

"What happened the other day is something that should not have happened and Libya has

イタリアの最大手銀行でミラノに本店がある UniCredit SpA へのリビアの支配が日増し
に強まっている。リビア中央銀行はすでに約 5％の株式を保有しているが、7 月にはリ
ビア投資局が 2.1％の株式を取得した。
Wednesday, 15 September, 2010: UniCredit SpA is falling “further and further into Libya’s
hands” and its Italian “roots” must be maintained, lawmaker Maurizio Fugatti, a member of the
governing coalition, said today in parliament. The Central Bank of Libya owns almost 5 percent
of Italy’s biggest bank, and the Libyan Investment Authority, a sovereign wealth fund, bought a
2.1 percent stake in the Milan-based lender in July, according to market regulator Consob.
Fugatti is a member of the Northern League party, a key coalition ally of Prime Minister Silvio
Berlusconi. Libya’s combined holdings would violate the lender’s statute if they were
determined to be a sole entity because the bank restricts voting rights to 5 percent per
shareholder, Fugatti said. [Bloomberg]

・Friday, 17 September, 2010: (Reuters) - The Italian government has asked Libya to clarify the
nature of the stakes held by its sovereign wealth fund and central bank in Italy's biggest bank,
UniCredit (CRDI.MI), but has so far received no answer, the Treasury said. The move adds
pressure on Tripoli to show its hand after Italian market watchdog Consob and the Bank of Italy
requested more information about the stakes, and some politicians voiced concern that Libya
might raise its holdings even further. Libya's sovereign wealth fund took a 2.075 percent stake
in UniCredit in late July, joining the Central Bank of Libya as a top shareholder. The two
Libyan investors combined have a stake of just under 7 percent, and bank rules bar a
shareholder from having a voting stake of more than 5 percent. [Reuters]
・Saturday, 18 September, 2010: Libya’s sovereign wealth fund has increased its stake in
UniCredit, making it by far the largest shareholder in the Italian banking group and aggravating
high emotions in Italy about a number of investments by Muammar Ghaddafi’s regime. The
Libyan Investment Authority now holds a stake of 2.5 percent in Italy’s largest bank by assets,
up from about 2 per cent, having made the purchase in July, according to several financial
sources. This is in addition to the 4.9 per cent in the bank held by the Libyan Central Bank.
Together, the stakes make Libya by far the largest shareholder in UniCredit, followed by the
sovereign wealth fund of Abu Dhabi. Experts say the move may well add to political pressure
on Alessandro Profumo. [Financial Times]

Authority increased its stake in the bank from 2.075 percent to 2.594 percent as of Aug. 31,
according to filings published Monday by Italy stock market regulator Consob. In addition,
Libya's Central Bank has a 4.613 percent stake, meaning Libyan investors have some 7.2
percent. Some politicians of the Northern League, which is a key ally in Premier Silvio
Berlusconi's government, have voiced concern about management decisions concerning the
Libyans and focused their criticism on CEO Alessandro Profumo. News agency ANSA says
Unicredit has called a board meeting to discuss management at the bank. [Businessweek]
・Thursday, 23 September, 2010: The ouster of UniCredit SpA Chief Executive Alessandro
Profumo after his courtship of Libyan investment shows the growing sensitivity in Italy to its
former colony's involvement in the Italian economy. Alessandro Profumo resigned Tuesday
after years of feuding with UniCredit shareholders over a variety of issues. But the trigger for
his departure was his defense of the Libyan investors in Italy's largest bank who supported his
decisions as CEO which appeared to strengthen his control over UniCredit. Libyan institutions
now hold 7.6% of UniCredit's shares. Though tighter business relations have improved Libya's
standing in Italy, Mr. Profumo appears to have underestimated the public's lingering doubts over
the former pariah state. Such concerns were eventually used by politicians and shareholders to
undercut support for him at the bank, analysts say. [Wall Street Journal]

into the blowout from BP blamed a "complex and interlinked" series of events, including human
errors and mechanical failures, for the explosion that killed 11 engineers and led to the spill. BP

due to rising wheat prices," Shokri Ghanem, chairman of Libya's National Oil Corp. (NOC),
told Zawya Dow Jones by telephone from Tripoli. "Oil should be commensurate to this increase,

a barrel all year, a range many in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries have
said is high enough to give producers a decent income without hurting the world economy. Still,
members of OPEC, a group of 12 countries that rely on oil for most of their income, have been
hurt by rising food costs, Shokri Ghanem, the chairman of Libya's National Oil Corp, said by

forward for women's rights, Human Rights Watch said today. But the law still contains some
contradictory provisions that could be interpreted to perpetuate discrimination, Human Rights
Watch said. The General People's Committee (GPC) - the arm of Libya's government
responsible for issuing new laws - made public in July Law no. 24 of 2010 on the Provisions of
Libyan Nationality, which it had adopted on January 28. Article 11 of the new law extends
Libyan nationality to children born to Libyan mothers and foreign fathers, but leaves the
interpretation of the provision to implementing regulations that the committee has not yet issued.

Panta Contracting Overseas Ltd（Panta Lesco Ltd 傘下 6 社のうちの一つ）はリビアの Gurgi
にイスラム娯楽センターを建設する契約を 1500 万ユーロで落札。
Friday, 3 September, 2010: Panta Contracting Overseas Ltd, one of the six subsidiary
companies created under the Panta Lesco Ltd umbrella, has been awarded a €15 million project
for the World Islamic Call Society’s entertainment centre in Gurgi, Libya. This project, which
boasts a massive total area of 250,000 square metres, equivalent to eight football pitches, is one
of Panta Lesco’s largest projects to date. After completion, the World Islamic Call Society will
offer a commercial centre with offices and clinics as well as a small hotel. Panta Lesco is
currently in process of catering to the building’s extensive mechanical and electrical equipment
23
requirements and installations. The project requires a vast amount of materials due to its large
dimension including 52,000 square meters of polyurethane ductwork, equivalent to four years of
duct panels used in Panta Contracting projects in Malta and 51 kilometers of piping for chilled
water, fire-fighting, domestic water, soil and rain water systems. [Times of Malta]

欧州連合はリビアとの間で地中海をわたる不法移民対策に関する協定締結を熱望。
Thursday, 2 September, 2010: The European Union is keen to strike a pact with Muammar
Gaddafi to stem the flow of immigrants across the Mediterranean, officials said today, after the
Libyan leader put a price tag of €5bn (£4.1bn) a year on the deal. "There is great scope to
develop cooperation with Libya on migration," said Matthew Newman, a commission
spokesman. Other officials said three negotiating sessions were expected by the end of the year
between Brussels and Tripoli as well as the staging of a summit of EU and African leaders in
Libya in November. In a highly theatrical visit to Italy this week, Gaddafi warned that Europe
would turn "black" unless it was more rigorous in turning back immigrants. Libya is a key
transit point for illegal migration from Africa to Europe. The Libyan leader said the bill for
sealing the crossing routes would be at least €5bn a year. [The Guardian]

Thursday, 2 September, 2010: Libya is the only country in North Africa without a railway. “I
believe the railway that links the Arab nation from Egypt until it reaches Morocco is more
important than water supplies to a city or a region,” Libyan leader Col. Muammar Qaddafi said
in a 1993 speech. Since 2008, the nation has been hard at work building a 1,969-mile rail
network scheduled to be completed in 2012. The lines stretch east to west along the country’s
Mediterranean coast and south to Sabha, in the center of the country. Outside Tripoli, a sleek
model train sits on newly constructed tracks. Inside, in first class, white sofas line the cabin.
Business class has shiny blue chairs arranged around tables. The government says the
completed network will employ more than 1,000 Libyan technicians, such as Shukri al-Arab.
Mr. Arab has spent 10 years preparing to work the tracks. He studied electrical engineering in
Yugoslavia. “We are all very, very happy because we are making the train in Libya,” he says.

リビア政府は先月末 37 名のイスラム原理主義者を釈放。オサマ・ビン・ラディンの元
運転手や LIFG のメンバーも含まれている。
Thursday, 2 September, 2010: TRIPOLI — Libya late Tuesday released 37 Islamists, including
24
a former driver of Osama bin Laden and members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG).
Wearing white traditional robes, the mostly young detainees were assembled in a tent put up in
Tripoli's Abu Salim prison where they were joined by their families. Bin Laden's former driver,
Nasser Tailamoun, and former Guantanamo detainee Abu Sofian Ben Guemou, handed over by
the Americans in 2007, were among those released, according to the Kadhafi Foundation. The
others were members of or connected with the LIFG, or jihadists who collaborated with
Al-Qaeda in Iraq or in north Africa, a prison official said. The release came just before the 41st
anniversary of the Libyan revolution which brought Colonel Moamer Kadhafi to power. A
source close to the foundation, headed by the son of Kadhafi, Seif al-Islam, told AFP 150 more
Islamists would be released soon. [AFP]

・Friday, 3 September, 2010: The Libyan government has released dozens of Islamist extremists
and terrorists in recent days as part of an effort to reconcile with its opposition. The initiative is
being led by Saif al Islam Qaddafi, the son of Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi. Saif Qaddafi
is battling other forces in Libya to one day succeed his father as ruler. And Saif's reconciliation
with terrorists who once opposed his father's regime is part of a gambit to build his base of
power. Among the Islamists released is Sofiane Ibrahim Gammu, a former Gitmo detainee who
was transferred to Libya on Sept. 28, 2007, and spent the next three years in a Libyan prison.
Libyan officials say Gammu was once a driver for Osama bin Laden. But Gammu denied this
allegation to Reuters: "I am not bin Laden's driver. It's a misunderstanding." [Long War Journal]
・Saturday, 4 September, 2010: Tuesday evening — the day before Colonel Muammar Gaddafi
marked the 41st anniversary of the coup that brought him to power — 37 political prisoners
were released from the notorious Abu Salim prison in Tripoli, site of a brutal massacre of
prisoners in 1996, when up to 1,200 men were murdered. Although the release of the 37 men
was obviously timed to shift attention from protests marking the anniversary by the regime’s
many opponents — including family members of those whose deaths or disappearances have
never been acknowledged — it is, nevertheless, a sign of progress, as well as political
opportunism. Under the influence of Saif al-Islam, one of Gaddafi’s sons and the head of the
Gaddafi Foundation, a charity that includes a human rights committee, the Libyan regime has,
in recent years, sought to reconcile itself with former political opponents, leading to the release
of hundreds of prisoners since 2007. As Reuters explained, “Saif al-Islam has campaigned for
reconciliation with Islamists who promise to lay down their arms. His initiative has met
resistance from conservatives in his father’s entourage with whom he is competing for
influence.” [Eurasia Review]

Thursday, 2 September, 2010: Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi made a three-day visit to Italy
this week to mark the second anniversary of the signing of a Friendship Treaty between Tripoli
and Rome. Mr. Gadhafi was given a lavish welcome and Italian Prime Minister Silvio
Berlusconi described the treaty as a "model of diplomacy in the era of globalization." Libyan
leader Moammar Gadhafi and Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi made a triumphant entry at an
evening event attended by hundreds of guests. Among them, top government ministers and the
cream of the Italian business community. Italian police and Bedouin-clad riders put on an
equestrian show, mounted on 30 thoroughbreds flown in from Libya. In his remarks at the event,
Mr. Berlusconi praised improved relations between Libya and Italy since the 2008 signing of
their Friendship Treaty. He said critics were "prisoners of outdated ideas". [VOA News]
