Libyan leader demands release of Qadhafi's billions

Libya's interim leadership Friday demanded the release of up to $160 billion (122 billion euros) of assets frozen in sanctions against former dictator Mummar Qadhafi. "All the Libyan people want from the international community is to try to speed the process of unfreezing our assets so we can pay wages and go back to normal," National Transitional Council chief Mustafa Abdel Jalil said.
"As all are aware... the money of Mummar Qadhafi, between 140-160 billion dollars, is frozen under international decisions," he told a European Union rights and development conference in Warsaw.
