OUGHT TO RETURN HER CROWN, BUT IT'S A START...:

Libya returns property to ex-queen (Agence France-Presse, October 16, 2007)

LIBYA has returned to ex-queen Fatma Cherif a mansion in Tripoli confiscated in 1969 when Muammar Gaddafi overthrew her late husband, king Idris Senussi, an official from the Gaddafi Foundation said.

The move is the latest in a quickening reform program championed by Mr Gaddafi's son, Seif al-Islam, who heads the Gaddafi Foundation, aimed at reversing the land confiscations championed by the regime in the years after the overthrow of the Western-backed monarchy.

I wonder if they'll give back Bunker Hunt's oil fields.
