Libyan Junta Demands Fast Wheelus Base Withdrawal
Libya's military government urged a prompt pullout of U.S. forces from Wheelus Air Base near Tripoli as talks open on the $100 million facility's future. Ambassador Joseph Palmer leads the U.S. team with Air Force officers and a State Department lawyer. Capt. Abdel Salam Jalloud heads the Libyan side. Britain agreed to remove its troops from Tobruk and Al Adem by March 31, with families already moving to Britain for Christmas. The base has long been a training site for U.S. and Libyan air forces, now hosting under 2,000 military personnel and about 2,500 civilians. The treaty allows either side to end the agreement after December 24, 1970, but Libya seeks full exit before 1971 ends.
