- <p> Libyan leader MUAMMAR GADDAFI, spooked by Operation
- Desert Storm and feeling lonely now that Syria has tilted toward
- the West, however slightly, is trying to end his isolation from
- the West. The strongman met secretly in Tripoli with Teddy
- Taylor, a Conservative member of the British Parliament, to talk
- about re-establishing diplomatic ties that were cut off in 1984,
- after a London policewoman monitoring an anti-Gaddafi rally was
- killed by a sniper hidden in the Libyan embassy. Gaddafi
- apologized and presented Taylor with a $500,000 check to a
- British police charity as restitution, but the Libyan was told
- he will remain a pariah until he publicly renounces the use of
- terrorism.
