Tunisia hands ex-Gadhafi PM to Libya

TORONTO — The family of a Canadian woman accused of trying to smuggle the son of late Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi into Mexico says her case is approaching a crucial turning point. Cynthia Vanier, who’s been sitting in a Mexico prison for more than a year, is currently waiting to make her closing statement before a judge, who will then decide whether to send the case to trial or drop the charges against her.

Deposed dictator Moammar Gadhafi's foreign spy chief went on trial on Tuesday, the first former regime official to be put before prosecutors in post-revolutionary Libya.

Libyan and American officials engaged in direct, face-to-face talks in Tunisia on Saturday, a spokesman for Moammar Gadhafi's embattled regime said Monday.

AP - The price of oil fell after the death of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, although it should take months for Libya's oil industry to recover and for the full impact to be felt on world markets.
