I was wondering if any one could direct me on the right path, I would like to find some historical minefield maps for Libya? we are in the final stages of planning a mine clearance project in the East, it would be great to do a case study of how they were laid and how they were found/located, considering everything that happened in Tubrok and surrounding area since WW2.

Interestingly coincidental with your post, there is an article in the DM today which tells us that the UK government had no maps of Libya and had to get some from Germany for the planning of its support for the uprising against Gaddafi. Might be that you will have to go there too?
