Libyan police surround Swiss embassy in Tripoli
Libyan police have surrounded the Swiss embassy in Tripoli on Monday after issuing a deadline for Switzerland to hand over two nationals who were sheltering in the building or face retaliation, according to reports.
In the latest instalment of a long-running dispute between the two nations, Gaddafi called Switzerland a ``mafia'' state and repeated a previous call for it to be divided up among France, Italy and Germany, according to the interview published by German news weekly Der Spiegel.
