Syria plans to fly plane to Tripoli
Syria reportedly prepared to fly a plane to Tripoli in violation of UN air embargo sanctions on Libya. The move could mark the first crack in UN measures meant to pressure Tripoli over the 1988 Pan Am bombing case. The Libyan sanctions, led by the international community, cut arms and air links and reduced diplomatic staff. Local Syria Arab Airlines sources said a Monday flight to Tripoli was planned, while Thursday’s flight was canceled for technical reasons.
