FOXNews.com - Politics - Suspicion Still Surrounds Libyan Leader Qadhafi: "Qadhafi pledged on December 19 that his government would quit its pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and prove its compliance by allowing international inspections of all facilities there.
That decision followed a bust two months earlier of Qadhafi as he tried secretly to import components for nuclear weapons. The ship with the hidden instruments was interdicted by the United States and United Kingdom. U.S. officials said Wednesday that it was diverted to Italy in October, where authorities found its secret cargo of nuclear weapons equipment.
Some State Department officials say the incident had a 'profound effect' on the Libyan leader's willingness to make a deal, but, some analysts say it did nothing for Qadhafi's already questionable credibility."
