The move, announced at a high-level meeting in Rome on how to shore up Libya's rebels, appeared to be the first time a country has sought to tap some of the massive Libyan wealth blocked by U.N. sanctions in February. http://link.email.washingtonpost.com/r/TNGYL1/724PF2/RBBNBY/TWV3KQ/5F15S/ID/h For more information, visit washingtonpost.com ---------------------------------------- Have an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch?
