Evans, Malcolm Paul, 1945- :"The United Kingdom is most concerned that Gadaffi's arsenal of the most terrible weapons does not fall into the hands of the wrong people! ..." 24 August 2011

At the same time he thinks 'Especially those who might notice how many of them were made in the UK!' Context: European nations that are busily destroying Libyan weapon systems on the ground these days were lining up to sell the authoritarian state major weapons systems a few months earlier, notes the latest survey on international arms sales from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. Four European nations - France, Italy, Russia and the United Kingdom - had been competing for expected orders from Libya for combat aircraft, tanks, air defense systems and other weapons before the United Nations imposed an embargo on arms sales to Libya last month, SIPRI said.
