| Tripoli windblown paper trail leads to post-apartheid South Africa |
| 2011-09-07 |
| A keenly observant, rubbish monitoring Graeme Smith, a foreign correspondent for Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper, found the papers and this delightful nuus scoop "blowing in the wind" on a street corner in the wealthy Tripoli suburb of Bab Akkarah where many of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's ruling elite, and some of his sons lived. "The documents were sitting on the side of the curb, not blowing at that moment, but rather sitting, where someone possibly a careless contracting officer, had abandoned them," Smith said from Tripoli. "It would seem they were dumped in a hurry." An empty sixpack of Castle and crumpled package of Hiltons were also found nearby. |
