CAIRO, Egypt - Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi has met with an unidentified delegation from the American-based Nation of Islam to discuss Libyan support for the group.
Gadhafi telephoned Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan in October to congratulate him on the Million Man March on Washington and to pledge his support for uniting the Muslim world.
Libyan television said Farrakhan's delegation was in Libya ``to coordinate the action program which was launched by the march of 2 million blacks, which shook the American capital last October.'' The goal, it said, was to carry out Gadhafi's advice to the Muslims in America ``to obtain their rights, and their right to independence and freedom, on American soil.'' - Associated Press After 36 years, Irish can buy Playboy
DUBLIN, Ireland - Playboy magazine went on sale Friday in Ireland for the first time since it began in 1959
The magazine's January issue hit newsstands with a special insert signed by publisher Hugh Hefner.
``Both Playboy and I grew up in Chicago, a city with a major Irish-American community,'' Hefner said. ``I am particularly pleased that our magazine is now available in the Republic of Ireland itself, a nation that has given the world so many of its finest writers and artists.'' - Associated Press
