U.N. Nuclear Chief Welcomed in Libya
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Published: December 28, 2003

TRIPOLI, Libya, Dec. 27 (AP) — Libya welcomed the scrutiny of the United Nations nuclear watchdog on Saturday and promised its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The agency's chief, Mohamed ElBaradei, arrived in Tripoli with a team of experts and praised Libya's new openness as a step in the right direction.

Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, the Libyan leader, said a week ago that Libya would abandon its efforts to build nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and the means to deliver them. Colonel Qaddafi promised to disclose current nuclear programs and pledged cooperation with the I.A.E.A.

Dr. ElBaradei said in an interview earlier Saturday that the extent of Libya's covert activities was not known, but the country appeared to be far from producing nuclear arms.

What was known, Dr. ElBaradei said, was that the Libyans "tried to develop an enrichment capability," for uranium, apparently as part of a nascent weapons program that was later abandoned.
