Wednesday, 12 December, 2001: Dublin-based mining company Bula chairman Albert Reynolds has consolidated his links with Libyan leader Col Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi, shaking hands on a deal that could make Bula's fortune. The Irish resources group announced that it is launching a share placement aimed at raising 1.38 million euros ($1.25 million), which would go toward developing its interests in Libya. The group said it is placing 77 million new shares, of which 50 million have been placed with Libyan group One Nine Investment International. One Nine is wholly owned by the Qadhafi Charitable Foundation, which is headed up by Qadhafi's son, Saif al-Islam. [Online.ie]
