 PARIS (AP) - France's first lady visited Libya Sunday and met its leader Moammar Gadhafi to press for the repatriation of five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor imprisoned for allegedly infecting Libyan children with the AIDS virus, French media and Libyan officials said.
Le Point news magazine reported on its Web site that Cecilia Sarkozy and Claude Gueant, President Nicolas Sarkozy's chief of staff, left Sunday morning for Libya "with the greatest discretion" on board the French presidential jet.
The report said the French government hopes to fly the medics to the Bulgarian capital, Sofia, on the French plane with Cecilia Sarkozy and Gueant aboard. Le Point cited a source "close the Libyan authorities."
