World Notes
LIBYA
Embassy Row
</hdr><body>
<p> The mob of 300 demonstrators did a thorough job on
Venezuela's embassy in Tripoli last week, smashing furniture,
torching rooms, even uprooting plants from the garden. The sacking
followed the United Nations Security Council's imposition of
sanctions against Libya for refusing to surrender six suspected
agents sought in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Scotland
in 1988 and a French airliner over Africa in 1989. Crowds also
attacked or demonstrated before the embassies of other
countries that had voted in favor of the sanctions.
</p>
<p> Venezuela was apparently targeted because it had chaired
the Security Council session that imposed the sanctions.
Another object of mob ire was Russia's embassy. The former
Soviet Union was once Libya's best friend and supplier in the
"anti-imperialist" struggle.
</p>
<p> But post-Soviet Russia has taken a firm stand against
terrorism. At week's end, it joined with all the other members
of the Security Council to strongly condemn the latest violence
in Tripoli.
