Libyan Hotel Dilemma for U.S. Delegates. U.S. representatives to the IMF-World Bank meetings in Prague face penalties if they stop for a drink or a snack at a neighboring hotel owned by a Libyan. Although the U.N. has lifted the economic embargo against Libya after it turned over the two Lockerbie bombing suspects for trial, the U.S. maintains its sanctions. The U.S. embassy in Prague has issued a warning to the U.S. delegates about compliance. Reuters
