The article “Social democrats cheer Libyan ‘rebels’ — flunkeys for NATO” (Workers Hammer no 216, Autumn 2011) wrongly stated that Libyan strongman Muammar el-Qaddafi came to power in the 1970s. Qaddafi actually came to power in 1969. The article also described a team that visited Tripoli in 1986 to express solidarity with the victims of the US bombing as being sent by the Spartacist League/US. In fact, this was a delegation from the international Spartacist tendency, forerunner of the International Communist League.
