Drawing on points contained in reftel, Charge d'affaires sought
Libyan support to prevent Abkhazian and South Ossetian

MFA Secretary for Americas Affairs Ahmed Fituri. Fituri made no
substantive response, but promised to inform appropriate
officials of the USG position. He noted that the head of the
MFA's International Organization Affairs Department, Hindi
