The six Bulgarian medics, charged with intentionally infecting Libyan children with HIV met on December 27 an official from the Qaddafi International Foundation for Charity Associations, chaired by Seif al-Islam the son of the Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi. The official brought small Christmas gifts to the Bulgarians. Qaddafi’s son was expected to meet the medics but he didn't.
