LIBYA ENGAGES IN JAMMING WAR

LONDON [MENL] -- Libya has waged a jamming war against the West in a successful effort to stop an opposition radio station.

So far, British and U.S. officials said, Libya has succeeded in disrupting U.S. military communications in the Mediterranean Sea. The jamming also blocked dozens of television and radio stations in Europe.

Officials said the confrontation began in September when a British-based opposition radio station began to broadcast to Libya. The station, Voice of Libya, was meant to be a commercial enterprise that reported human rights violations by the regime of Col. Moammar Khaddafy.

Within minutes of its launch, the radio station as well as other broadcast networks were jammed. Officials said the jamming ended when the Voice of Libya went off the air.
