The academy has been operating since 1979 and some of its graduates have gone on to become bodyguards for Gadhafi, often appearing at his side at conferences.

This is not a five level class.
It is part of a show staged for Western media at the Tripoli Military Academy for Girls nearly two weeks after U.N. sanctions were imposed on Libya over its refusal to surrender suspects in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.
TRIPOLI, Libya — Rows of women in army uniform adjust their shoulder weapons in firing position. A female officer shouts orders to operators of an anti-tank weapon. Indoors, more women officers decode Morse-code messages.
This is no live exercise.
"We are ready to fight imperialism, American interference and Zionist plots," said Soad Bashir, a middle-aged instructor at the academy.
"We need more revolutionary women in Libya. We are aiming for 5 percent of the female population," she said. Libya's has 4.2 million people.
She said she had sacrificed marriage and a family to devote her life to Col. Moammar Gadhafi's revolution, appealing to young girls to devote themselves "like nips" to the revolution.
Libyan women fight for equality
Reporters for Western news organizations, barred by Libyan officials from news coverage for 10 days in the wake of the U.N.-imposed sanctions, were suddenly taken on a visit to the academy Tuesday.

The military school accepts all women ages 17-25 from any country, said instructor Nowara Mohammed. Neither she nor other instructors could give reporters the number of annual graduates.

One instructor, Nagya Ramandan, said between 400 and 600 women attend the school annually. But
Gadhafi has said the West could wage war against Libya over his refusal to hand over the two suspects in the 1988 Pan Am bombing, which killed 270 people. Tensions between Libya and the West rose when the United Nations on April 15 banned air links and arms sales to Libya and urged countries to order reductions in Libyan diplomatic abroad.
While pointing out the basic differences between men and women, he also said there must be equality between the sexes.
"We must protect the revolution," she said. "It gave a lot to women."
In his "third universal theory," also known as the "Green Book," Gadhafi laid down the structure of Libyan society.
But overall school attendance for girls remains low and Libyan women are still expected to marry and run a family rather than join men in the work force, according to Egyptian teachers and Western diplomats in Libya.
ATHENS, Greece — They say it with lapel pins. They plaster it on lamp-posts. They even advertise it in strip joints.
The Associated Press
In any way they can, Greeks are trying to spread their message that Yugoslavia's southernmost republic shouldn't be allowed to call itself Macedonia.
In another, about 30 women dropped to one knee and aimed their rifles from the shoulder. They did not fire, saying they had their live-fire exercises outside the academy.
In one demonstration at the academy, five women dressed in fatigues stood around an SPC-10n-tank tank.
Greeks upset by Yugoslav republic
Indoors, women with headphones decoded messages in Morse code that an officer was supplying. Others operated computers, opening and closing programs.
Both states want use of name 'Macedonia'; military intervention suggested
What angers Greeks is that the Yugoslav republic is agitating for independence — under the name Macedonia. But Macedonia is also a territory in northern Greece. The Greeks refer to the Yugoslav republic as Skopje, after its capital.
Greeks say that Yugoslav Marshal Josip Broz Tito usurped the ancient Greek name of Macedonia in 1944 and gave Yugoslavia claims over the northern Greek territory.
with the former Yugoslavia now breaking up, the Macedonian question has taken on a life of its own. A few Greeks have even called for military intervention if Macedonia is granted international recognition.
One leading conservative daily.
Eletheros Typos, ran an editorial April 13 stating: "Maybe we should make it clear in all directions that if need be, we will send a couple of divisions and a few elite commando units to restore justice."
Conservative Premier Constantine Mitsotakis has ruled out military force, which he describes as adventurism. He says Greece would prefer good relations with the republic.
But the issue of Macedonia has gripped people here like no other since Turkey's 1974 invasion of Cyprus.
In February, for example, more than 1 million people took part in a demonstration against recognition of Macedonia.
Thousands of consumers and dozens of supermarkets joined a boycott against Dutch and Italian products after the two governments were perceived to favor Macedonian recognition.
The slogan "Macedonia is and has been Greek for over 3,000 years" has sprung up on posters, stickers, taxi cabs and postage meters. Lapel pins with the star of ancient Macedonia are all the rage in government offices,
businesses and trendy Athens night clubs.
"I've given out more than 200,000 since the end of February. We are working day and night and even weekends to make them," jeweler Makis Michalis said. He does not charge for the gold-plated pins.
There is now a Macedonia airport in northern Greece, a navy firing called Macedonia and a state-run Macedonian News Agency covering northern Greece and the Balkans.
The state mint issued a coin with the head of Alexander the Great, the ancient Greek warrior king who ruled Macedonia in the 4th century B.C. A popular strip joint in Athens strung up a "Macedonia is Greek" banner over its dance floor.
In the United States, a group calling itself "Americans for the Just Resolution of the Macedonian Issue" took out a full-page article in The New York Times on Sunday. It called on President Bush not to recognize the Yugoslav republic unless it changes its name.
Some conservative and socialist politicians say the Macedonia issue has restored Greek pride in the
nation's heritage and patriotism.
nation's hereditary and poised himself.
But some leftist parties are worried it may have tapped a vein of long-suppressed nationalism.
"There are members of the extreme right and the socialist party who talk about military pressure — something that could lead to an explosion in the region," Maria Damanaki, head of the small Left Coalition, told Parliament.
Macedonia has proved to be Mitsotakis' toughest challenge since his visit.
He received a vote of confidence April 17 after firing Foreign Minister Andonis Samaras for his uncompromising stand on the issue.
Mitsotakis accused Samaras of attempting to force the government to say that Greece will close its borders and isolate the republic if it is recognized.
But Mitosakis immediately adopted Samara's hard-line approach. He may be banking his political future on his ability to convince Greece's EC partners at a May 11 meeting not to recognize the republic unless it changes its name.
