     LIBYA IS COURTING SOUTH AFRICA'S top germ warfare scientists to work
                    for Colonel Muammar Gadaffi. CIA sources say the South
                    African program was used to assassinate opponents of
                    the apartheid regime, under the government of former
                    president FW de Klerk. "The fact that a chemical and
                    biological weapons program was operating is simply
                    incontestable," said a Pentagon official. On April 23,
                    1989, Frank Chikane, the secretary general of the South
                    African council of churches, was taken ill on his way
                    to Namibia. Investigation revealed Chikane's suitcase
                    and clothes had been infected with a toxin that he had
                    breathed or absorbed through his skin. The CIA believes
                    that in the same year Thami Zulu, one of the African
                    National Congress's most effective guerrilla fighters,
                    was fed poison by an agent working against the ANC in
                    Lusaka, the Zambian capital. ANC officials in Zambia
                    and Mozambique are also believed to have been attacked.
                    American intelligence has tracked Gadaffi's agents
                    around the world, listening to telephone conversations
                    seeking to recruit the South Africans.

     ANALYSIS & COMMENTARY: The western media have been slow to recognize,
     or at least publicize, a threat to the world's population that is at
     least as great as that posed by nuclear weapons.

     Chemical and biological weapons are so much more accessible to the
     world's dictators and despots than nukes, even in these days of
     bargain basement, post-Soviet military hardware prices.
