Brown and Gadhafi hold talks
L'AQUILA, Italy (AP) British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has called on Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi to help return a British child he said was abducted by her father and taken to Libya.
Mr. Brown's office said on Friday he had asked Mr. Gadhafi in talks on the sidelines of the G-8 summit to intervene in the case of 6-year-old Nadia Fawzi, alleged to have been taken from northern England to Libya in 2007.
Mr. Gadhafi raised the case of Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi, a Libyan found guilty of blowing up an airliner over Scotland in a 1988 attack that killed 270 people.
Al-Megrahi is appealing his conviction and seeking a return to Libya. Mr. Brown told Mr. Gadhafi the issue is for the Scottish government, not his administration.
Mr. Gadhafi is at the summit as chairman of the African Union.
