[originaltext] And President Bush says the United States is looking into repo

And President Bush says the United States is looking into reports that Libya’s government plotted to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince Abdullah. Earlier, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said Washington heard reports last year that Libya was in contact with Saudi dissidents who had threatened violence against the Saudi royal family. Western media carried accounts of the alleged plans today. Libya has denied any involvement in a plot against Saudi rulers. Libya also stressed that it would not use violence to settle differences with other states. But Mr. Boucher said the latest reports would slow some aspects of normalizing ties with Libya.
