Libya's acting Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril has announced that nuclear and chemical weapons have been found in the country and said foreign inspectors would arrive later in the week to investigate the issue, Al Arabiya TV network reported on Monday quoting a National Transitional Council official.
Dr. Mahmoud Jibril, interim prime minister of the Libyan Transitional National Council announced that nuclear and chemical weapons have been found in Libya.
     

"We would like to assure you that the new Libya will be a peaceful Libya and that it is in our interest to have no weapons in Libya," he told reporters.

Jibril said Libya has no interest in keeping such weapons. He refused to give further details on the location and amount of the weapons. “There are international organizations taking care of this issue,” Jibril said.

A Russian-drafted U.N. resolution, to be voted on this week, calls on Libyan authorities to destroy its chemical weapons.

The late Muammar Gaddafi officially gave up his nuclear weapons program in 2004 to strengthen Libya’s ties with the West.
