Libyan Government sues D.C.

"The Libyan government sued the D.C. Water and Sewer Authority last week in federal court, demanding that the property's water and sewer service be turned on. The lawsuit also asks for $1 million in damages.At the heart of the dispute are more than $27,000 in outstanding water and sewer bills for the property on Wyoming Avenue. Libya says it hasn't occupied the building since 1981, when the U.S. government cut diplomatic ties with the country and shut the embassy.the D.C. utility won't provide water or sewer service until someone pays the bills. The city's records show water and sewer accounts at the property in the name of the "United Kingdom of Libya," and the authority has filed a lien demanding payment," The Washington Times reported Tuesday http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,207432,00.html I think this is ridiculous. the Libyan government needs to pay the $27,ooo they owe D.C. because they were using water and sewer services.there is no way Libya should win this lawsuit, it is a waste of time.
