Human Rights Watch has expressed concern that the unrest in Libya could result in the proliferation of Libya’s vast arsenal of arms, landmines and the remnants of its chemical weapons program. Peter Bouckaert told the blog Danger Room that “weapon proliferation out of Libya is potentially one of the largest we have ever documented—2003 Iraq pales in comparison—and so the risks are equally much more significant.” Bouckaert went on to say, “If Gadhafi loyalists decide to mount an Iraqi-style insurgency, they have access to a thousand times the explosives that the insurgents in Iraq had.”
