Libya’s Transitional National Council, the group representing rebels fighting Muammar Qaddafi, is getting 50 million dinars ($181 million) from Kuwait, according to council chief Mustafa Abdel Jalil.
Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed Al-Sabah, speaking at a news conference yesterday with Abdel Jalil, didn’t immediately confirm the contribution. “Actions speak louder than words,” he said when asked if Kuwait had officially recognized the transition council.
