Libya never got nuclear plans off ground - diplomats
VIENNA (Reuters) - Preliminary results of inspections of nuclear sites in Libya have confirmed the view of the U.N. nuclear watchdog that Tripoli was nowhere near building a bomb, diplomats said.
On December 19, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi announced he would allow international inspectors to dismantle his weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programmes. A British official said then that Tripoli "was close to developing" a nuclear bomb.
