British universities ditch Libyan deals


British universities severed links with Colonel Gaddafi’s regime last night as the full extent of how they have profited from Libya was revealed.

A string of universities said they had pulled out of a deal with Tripoli to train hundreds of health workers.

The disclosure came as official statistics showed virtually every university in Britain is being paid by the Libyan government to educate students.

The 110 institutions registered a total of 2,880 students from Libya last year, including judges and police officers - part of Gaddafi’s feared security network.
