U.S. and European officials have agreed with Libya on setting up a fund to offer financial assistance to the families of AIDS-infected children in the Libyan city of Benghazi, Bulgaria's Foreign Ministry said Friday.

The move is part of international efforts to secure the release of five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor sentenced to death by a Libyan court for allegedly infecting some 400 children with the AIDS virus as part of an experiment.

Conspiracy theories amongst "Muslims in general and Arabs in particular" is candidly [3] acknowledged by the editor of The Yemen Times.

A Libyan appeals hearing in the case is scheduled for Sunday, and Bulgarian President Georgi Parvanov expressed optimism that negotiations have reached a new stage.

"Recent developments made me positive that the trial would be concluded soon in a manner acceptable for Bulgaria," Parvanov told journalists. He added, however, that "a high price has to be paid for the release of the nurses."
