The U.S. Defence Secretary, Dr. William Perry, said the United States is fully prepared to take "more drastic measures" if Libya did not wield to American demands. On May 24, the New York Times reported that "although the U.S. constantly monitors every activity and development in Libya through a sophisticated satellite network in the sky and by covert agents on the ground, it did not fully comprehend what was going on until it became impossible to knock the plant out with acceptable weapons already in the arsenal." Among its options, the report states, the U.S. is considering the use of a "small" nuclear weapon that "could penetrate the mountain and destroy the plant without exterior fallout." Remarkably, no mainstream media expressed alarm that the U.S. is seriously considering a nuclear strike on another country, especially in the wake of huge outcry over French and Chinese nuclear testing. During an interview with CNN, the Libyan leader Col. Muammar Al Qadhafi said the work on the mountain at Tarhunah is part of the Great Man-Made River Project (a massive irrigation program). "We wanted to connect the two branches of the Great Man-Made River from Tarhunah to Tripoli and a mountain stood in our way so we had to drill a tunnel for the pipes to pass through." He said Korean construction companies "could reveal the falsehood of American allegations." He added that if the work is so suspicious in American eyes, "then American permission will have to be sought before any work is done on Libyan land or in its mountains to avoid American allegations." The U.S. is also pressuring Libya to hand over two men they claim were responsible for the 1988 Pan Am airliner bombing over Lockerbie. Although the case against the men lacks any evidence and has been shown by numerous international legal bodies to be flawed, the U.S. is continuing its vindictive campaign against the Libyan leader. Due to its refusal to hand over the two men to British or U.S. authorities, Libya has been under severe UN sanctions for the last four years.
