Muammar Qadhafi wanted Dennis Kucinich to stop NATO bombing, report says

Muammar Qadhafi reached out to Kucinich (D-Ohio) in an attempt to persuade him to visit Libya as part of a “peace mission,” according to The Guardian.

Kucinich, a staunch anti-war advocate, was told that the Libyan government would pay for all expenses. The plan was that Kucinich would meet with senior regime officials as well as Qadhafi himself.

But as a letter from a U.S.-based lobbyist to the regime reveals, Kucinich decided not to go to Libya because he was “concerned that his personal safety in Tripoli could not be guaranteed.”
