Confrontation with Libya

Soviets support Libya
U.S. condemned for attack

MOSCOW — The Soviet Union condemned the United States yesterday for its clash with Libyan forces in the Gulf of Sidra, saying Washington had declared a unilateral war against Libya that threatened world peace.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Vladimir Lomeiko said that the Soviet Union was not involved in the conflict but strongly supported Libya in its battle with the United States off the Libyan coast.
He said the Kremlin response would depend on Washington's next move.
"We heard with anger and indignation about the new provocative actions against Libya," Lomeiko said at a news conference.
"The military actions by Washington, which flagrantly violate the elementary norms of international law are a manifestation of the policy of state terrorism and an exertion of neoglobalism which has been adopted by the U.S. ruling circles," he said.
The Soviet Union, which had supplied the government of Col. Moammar Khadjaf with arms, dismissed the U.S. explanation that it was defending itself against Libyan missile attacks on U.S. ships in international waters
"The true aim of that glaring act of arbitrariness is in U.S. endeavors to realize its long-standing plans to destabilize and undermine the Libyan regime which pursues an independent political course," Lomeiko said.
Saying that the Soviet Union considered the situation to be extremely serious, Lomeiko said the Soviet response would depend on subsequent steps taken.
Lomeiko said the fact that the United States had held naval exercises four times in the area in the past three months was proof of the provocative nature of the actions.

U.S. acts get mixed reaction
Western Europe expressed concern yesterday over fighting between U.S. and Libyan forces in the Gulf of Sidra, but Israel said it was encouraged by U.S. strikes against the terrorist regime of Libya leader Co. Moammar Khadaf.
Craxi, who met with his Cabinet in emergency session because of the clashes, said the U.S. exercises in the Gulf of Sidra were outside the NATO framework and contained elements
of high risk that gave rise to concern.

or high risk that gave rise to concern. Moderate Arab states withheld comment on the clashes between Li-yuan forces and jets from the U.S. 6th Air Force, which condone the U.S. challenge to the radical Khadafy regime. But they were not expected to publicly support attacks against a fellow Arab state.
But in Iran, Prime Minister Hussein Moussavi said the U. actions were a violation against the territorial integrity of an Islamic country. The Iranian Foreign Ministry vowed to use all its means to support Libya.
Margaret Thatcher defended the U.S. strikes in an address to the House of Commons.
"The U.S. ships and aircraft were operating in international waters and airspace, and we support their right to do so." Thatcher said.
In Paris, the Foreign Ministry said France was following with great con-
tention the visit of President Obama.
But in Jerusalem, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said Israel was "encouraged by the firm stand of the United States against the behavior of Khadafy, who continues to promote and be involved in international terrorist activity."
