    US to probe Libya 'murder plot'

    US President George W Bush says his country is investigating allegations of a Libyan plot to kill the ruler of Saudi Arabia last year.
    Libya has vehemently denied the charge, describing it as a lie designed to blacken its image abroad.

    American newspaper reports have alleged Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi approved a plan to kill Crown Prince Abdullah.

    A State Department spokesman said the investigation would affect the pace of the US rapproachement with Libya.

    Spokesman Richard Boucher said the charge was one reason why Libya's name remained on America's list of state sponsors of terrorism.

    He said the matter had already been discussed with Libyan officials, who had assured the US they did not support the use of violence to settle political differences.
