Libya Will Not Issue Visas To Canadian Citizens

The move follows Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi’s cancellation of a recent stopover in Canada in September. Kadhafi was returning from summits in the United States and Venezuela.

He is the convicted Lockerbie bomber who was released from a prison in Scotland on compassionate grounds – he has terminal cancer. Countries who lost citizens in the 1988 attack were extremely critical of the joyful celebrations welcoming him home to Libya.
