Libyan body sees sign of end to AIDS death row saga

TRIPOLI (AFP) - A Libyan organisation headed by the son of leader Moamer Kadhafi said on Sunday the saga of AIDS-affected children and six foreign medics condemned to death for allegedly deliberately injecting them with tainted blood, may soon be resolved.

"Indications of an impending solution to this crisis have appeared after negotiations in Brussels on May 10 between representatives of the families of Libyan children stricken with AIDS and the European Union," said a statement from the Kadhafi Foundation headed by Saif al-Islam.

"Representatives of the families have welcomed with satisfaction the results of these negotiations, and rays of hope for a rapid resolution of this crisis have appeared," foundation official Saleh Abdessalam said in the statement.

He said the Kafhafi Foundation "is trying to bring together the points of view of the Libyan families' representatives and those of the international community."
