"Libya has offered to loan Saudi Arabia $3 billion in exchange for assistance in lifting UN sanctions and unfreezing Libyan assets"

Saudi Arabia Reportedly Still Broke
Stratfor Commentary, 990721

The opposition "Movement for Islamic Reform in Saudi Arabia" website reported on
July 20 that Libya has offered to loan Saudi Arabia $3 billion in exchange for Saudi
Arabia's assistance in lifting UN sanctions and unfreezing Libyan assets. The
website claimed that Libyan leader Moammar Khaddafi made this offer after Saudi
attempts to secure loans from Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and other Gulf
countries had failed.

The real significance of this report does not lie in the alleged source of the loan
offer. It is entirely reasonable for Libya to seek relief from its economic and political
isolation, even if it must purchase support. If this says anything new about Libya, it is
that Khaddafi may have got over his "I am African" snit and is attempting to mend
relations with the Arab world.
