The eldest son of the Libyan leader has criticized Germany over its double standards towards selling weapons to different countries.
Seif al-Islam, who is increasingly seen as the successor to his father Moamer Kadhafi, made the remarks Wednesday in a letter addressed to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, posted on the website of his Kadhafi Foundation charity, AFP reported.
Seif al-Islam said that while Germany refuses to grant licenses to export the simplest defense equipments and engines to Arab countries, including Libya, it is building two Dolphin-class submarines, which can be fitted with nuclear missiles, for Israel.
He also said Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert had asked the Germans to speed up the process of building the two submarines during a visit last week to Berlin for talks with Merkel that according to Tel Aviv's officials focused on Iranian nuclear program.
