TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Senior figures in Libya's new leadership have
written a letter to the United Nations asking it to release funds still
frozen three months after the country's civil war ended, the central
bank chief said on Saturday.
When a rebellion broke out in February against the rule of Muammar
Gaddafi, the U.N. Security Council froze Libyan assets estimated at $150
billion, but the bulk of that sum remains beyond the reach of the new
Libyan rulers.
Frustration at the delay has been growing inside Libya, where the
interim government says it urgently needs the cash to pay the wages of
public sector workers and to start re-building state institutions.
