Journey to Libya
Richard Bangs’ stories about his travels in Libya have been featured this week on Slate’s Well Traveled. Bangs was also featured in an interview in Sunday’s Los Angeles Times, in which he spoke about his Libya trip.
Travel in Libya is dangerous as that is where War Criminal Abu Minyar ("colonel"Muammar Gaddaffi) has sent tens of thousands to death and deported the Libyan national population and stolen trillions of dinar and other currencies to support his terrorism. The slandering of Bulgarian health care workers as guilty for spreading aids/hiv is another recent fraud and heinous crime that this backwards dictator has perpetrated, and other countries should be considered instead of this brutally abused Arab/African land.
