Libya named in attack
NZPA-Reuter N’djamena Libyan troops have attacked the Government-held northern Chadian town of Faya-Largeau, says a Chad Government communique released in N’djamena, the capital. The attack on the strategic desert outpost had be-
gun at 10 p.m. (New Zealand time, Thursday) it said. A Libyan-backed rebel army, commanded by the former President, Goukouni Oueddei, has been threatening to move on Faya-Lar-geau for several days. The rebels and Libya have denied that Libyan troops
are engaged in the fighting in northern Chad. The United States, echoing a French warning, called on the Libyan leader, Colonel Muammar Gadaffi, yesterday not to encroach into the Central African country which is on Libya’s southern border.
