UK summons Libyan ambassador to protest crackdown

BRUSSELS – The UK government on Monday summoned the Libyan ambassador to London to protest over a deadly crackdown blamed for hundreds of demonstrators' deaths, Foreign Secretary William Hague said.

"We have summoned the Libyan ambassador in London to the Foreign Office today to register our absolute condemnation of the use of lethal force against demonstrators," Hague told reporters on arrival for talks among EU counterparts in Brussels.

Hague also said he "called Saif al-Islam, Colonel Kadhafi's son, yesterday to express our strong disapproval."
