Libiya
Background:
Since he took power in a 1969
military coup, Col. Muammar Abu Minyar al-QADHAFI has espoused his own
political system - a combination of socialism and Islam - which he calls
the Third International Theory. Viewing himself as a revolutionary
leader, he used oil funds during the 1970s and 1980s to promote his
ideology outside Libya, even supporting subversives and terrorists
abroad to hasten the end of Marxism and capitalism. Libyan military
adventures failed, e.g., the prolonged foray of Libyan troops into the
Aozou Strip in northern Chad was finally repulsed in 1987. Libyan
support for terrorism decreased after UN sanctions were imposed in 1992.
Those sanctions were suspended in April 1999.
