Libya Tunisia Union Bid Stuns Middle East Believers
The unexpected plan to unite Libya and Tunisia into one nation emerges as leaders Muammar Khadafy and Habib Bourguiba push divergent paths.

If convicted, fines up to 115 or three months in jail loom. The case hinges on whether prawns fall under the act and whether cruelty can apply to invertebrates.
