British government encouraged LSE to forge Libya links, says academic
A leading academic who taught on the London School of Economics' controversial Libya programme has blamed the British government for encouraging educational links with the autocratic state.

Anthony Giddens' trip to see Gaddafi vetted by Libyan intelligence chief
A trip to Libya in 2006 by Anthony Giddens, the former London School of Economics director and eminent sociologist, when he met Muammar Gaddafi in his tent, was first vetted by the Libyan leader's head of intelligence, leaked documents show.
