Dutch Crash Boy Arrives Home

The 9-year-old Dutch boy who miraculously survived a plane crash in Libya is back home in the Netherlands.

The Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, will discuss arms and energy during his visit to Moscow, his first in more than 20 years. As Libya could buy more than $US 2 billion worth of Russian weapons, Gaddafi's trip is seen as an opportunity to woo him away from Western companies who've been lobbying hard for lucrative contracts since the UN lifted sanctions in 2003.
