Tripoli, 24 October 2013:
Contrary to widespread reports that the clocks would go back an hour at two o’clock in the morning . . .[restrict]tomorrow, according to the government website the decision to change the clocks is now void.
There will be no change to the clocks and wintertime will be the same as summertime said the statement, which appears to have been posted today shortly after midday.
The Libya Herald apologises for misinforming its readers.
European countries will put their clocks back in the early hours of Sunday morning. From then, Libya will not be in the same time zone as most of Europe, but will be an hour ahead. [/restrict]
