PRESS
RELEASE
On
Thursday, 18 October 2001, the Leader of the Revolution, Colonel
Muammar Al- Ghaddafi gave the following statement to the Libyan
News Agency regarding the spread of Anthrax in parts of the United
States
“If it is
confirmed that Anthrax has spread in America by a deliberate act,
which seems
almost certain, then the
matter is highly serious. In this case, it is useless to
over-react,
get angry, cover-up, engage
in coveting or even take the semblance of patience. All that
is
futile.
We are facing
real terrorism this time. This is the worst form of terrorism,
physically and
psychologically. This
weapon is the most vicious form of mass-destruction. It is
not
restricted to any peculiar
time or place.
The atom bomb,
despite its huge destruction, is far more benign in comparison. It
is
usually dropped in a
certain place and a certain time. It effects could be measured by
the
circles of diffusion. The
one who uses the atom bomb is safe once he is out of its
effect.
As for
Anthrax, its viciousness comes from the fact that its is
uncontrollable and can not
be monitored. It could
affect its own use. I cannot imagine that a human being could
use
germs against an other
human being , no matter the degree of hostility was between
them.
It is in
fact a cowardly, satanic and irresponsible use. It is highly
serious for the whole
humanity.
The matter
requires an international meeting to represent the wisdom and
conscience of
the world, far from any
moral or sentimental considerations, as all this is of no use
in
such
hour.
The
international responsibility and reason require that all aircraft
and all guns should fall
silent, to listen to the
voice of reason and to solve the problems of nations, which as
a
result
of their problems produced such rebellious people of this kind
.
We have to
acquire moral courage, not military courage. This is totally
useless. All
human hostilities or
animosities have to end and disappear in the face of this real
danger.
This danger
should be terminated at any cost. All military aircraft or cruise
missiles must
be placed inside museums.
The best solution is to address the economic, political and
medical bases.
It is more viable”.
