Libya halts economic co-operation with Switzerland
Libya says it has halted oil shipments to Switzerland and withdrawn its money from Swiss banks. Libya's state news agency JANA reported that the move was meant as a protest against the treatment of the country's diplomats and businessmen in Switzerland. This comes three months after Libyan leader Muammar Gadhaffi's son was arrested in Geneva on suspicion of mistreating two domestic employees.
