The American-based group Human Rights Watch says it's found documents in Libya that show how Western intelligence agencies cooperated closely with Colonel Gaddafi's government over terrorism in the years after the 9/11 attacks on the United States. The group says some documents appear to show that British and American intelligence shared information with Libya's former spy chief Moussa Koussa. Peter Bouckaert from Human Rights Watch says that Gaddafi's regime was able to offer plenty of intelligence.

位于美国的人权观察组织表示，他们在利比亚发现了一些文件，表明自9.11恐怖袭击以来，卡扎菲上校政府在反恐战争方面一直与西方情报机构密切合作。该组织表示，一些文件似乎表明英美情报机构与利比亚前外长库萨(Moussa Koussa)共享信息。人权观察组织的Peter Bouckaert表示，卡扎菲政权有能力提供足够的情报。

"Libya was a police state for 42 years. They listened to every phone call, every conversation; they had all of their informants. So that requires a tremendous amount of archives, and that's why the CIA and MI6 were so keen to build this relationship with Moussa Koussa because Gaddafi was sponsoring rebel movements all across Africa and listening to anybody in Libya."

“42年来，利比亚一直是一个警察国家。他们可以窃听每一个电话，每一次对话，他们拥有所有提供消息者。所以，这需要巨大的档案馆，这就是CIA和MI6如此迫切地与库萨创建关系的原因，因为卡扎菲已经在整个非洲引发了反叛活动。”
