Khadafi Son Urges Release of Bulgarians in AIDS CaseOctober 2, 2001 Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi's son said Monday he is pressing for the release of six Bulgarians facing death for allegedly deliberately infecting Libyan children with the HIV virus. "I want and I hope the criminal side of the accusation to be abandoned, so that the problem is not seen as a deliberate act but as a mistake due to chance. That is the aim of our work," Seif Al-Islam told the daily 24 Hours. The defendants -- a Bulgarian doctor and five nurses and a Palestinian doctor -- are accused of deliberately injecting 393 children with HIV-infected blood products in a hospital in the northern Libyan city of Benghazi. Bulgarian authorities, including President Petar Stoyanov, have said they hoped the most serious charges would be dropped.
