Libyan charity wants to avoid angering Israel
None
A charitable foundation led by the son of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi says it wants to avoid political activities that anger Israel and focus on humanitarian work.
The foundation led by Seif al-Islam Gadhafi says its priority is assisting the poor in sub-Saharan Africa, but has been involved in a campaign for the release of the Lockerbie bomber and an attempt to thwart Israel's naval blockade of Gaza. The foundation said it will drop "advocacy for political and human rights reform" after board members voiced concern over criticism by Israel supporters about the foundation's activities. (AP)
