The World : No Ban on Libya Students

The United States is making an exception to its order freezing all the American bank accounts of Col. Moammar Kadafi’s government and will allow Libyan students to continue to draw money to pay for tuition and related school expenses, U.S. officials said. They also said new students from Libya will be permitted to come to the United States. About 1,200 of the 3,200 Libyans legally in the United States are students. Many of them are supported by the Kadafi government through a U.S. bank account, Treasury and State Department officials said.
