Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi has ordered the abolishment of most of the government ministries and handing over their powers to the people.

Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi arrived Monday on his first visit to France for more than 30 years, sparking protests from rights groups and criticism from the French human rights minister.

The Libyan authorities are denying entry to tourists if they don't have an Arabic translation of their passport - even if they have a valid visa, European officials and airliners said Monday.
