Kuwait City, April 25 (IANS) Kuwait said Sunday it would grant the Libyan opposition group 50 million dinars (around $180 million) after the country's amir (ruler) met head of Transitional National Council (TNC) Mustafa Abdul Jalil.
Jalil, on a visit to Kuwait, said the amount would be used to pay for the salaries of the employees of the Transitional National Council (TNC), Xinhua reports.
Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed Al-Sabah, speaking at a news conference yesterday with Abdel Jalil, didn’t immediately confirm the contribution. “Actions speak louder than words,” he said when asked if Kuwait had officially recognized the transition council.
