German police scandal over Libya

German police scandal over Libya

Eight German police commandos are under investigation for allegedly having trained Libyan police for profit in their spare time.

"The behaviour of the police officers is completely unacceptable," said Ingo Wolf, interior minister in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

German media say the commandos allegedly worked for a private firm and flew to Libya in 2006 to train police.

Libya's leader Col Muammar Gaddafi rejected terrorism in 2003.

Col Gaddafi also agreed to dismantle the country's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programmes.

Since then Libya's relations with Western powers have improved dramatically.
