Libyan Leader Khadafy Draws Uproar With U S Clash
Col Muammar Khadafy’s missile clash with the United States boosts his heroic image at home as Libyans fill streets chanting anti American slogans. Analysts say the confrontation will not aid Libya’s faltering economy amid plunging world oil prices and ongoing Gulf of Sidra tensions. Khadafy leverages propaganda to frame the fight as sovereignty asserting, while threatening attacks on American forces abroad. The clash follows US naval exercises off Libya prompted by terrorist attacks in Rome and Vienna.
