2011-05-06 The Libyan Jamahiriya Broadcasting Corporation (LJBC) on Thursday (May 5th) was added to the list of state-controlled companies sanctioned by the US, AFP reported. Assets and property of other Libyan companies based in London and Algeria were also frozen. "The United Nations and countries around the world are locking down the government of Libya's assets to prevent the Kadhafi regime from sponsoring further bloodshed," US Treasury official Adam Szubin said. On Thursday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the Libya Contact Group in Rome that that the US was looking into legislation that would allow some $34 billion in frozen Libyan assets to be released to the rebels' Transitional National Council.
