London: The London
School of Economics (LSE) said Tuesday it was looking into claims
that Colonel Muammer Gaddafi's son, Saif al-Islam, had plagiarised
his doctorate thesis.
"LSE is aware that there are allegations of plagiarism concerning
the PhD thesis of Saif Gaddafi," the university said in a
statement.
"The School takes all allegations of plagiarism very seriously,
and is looking into the matter in accordance with standard LSE
procedures."
Saif al-Islam studied at the LSE between 2003 and 2008 and left
with a Master of Science degree and a doctorate.
But, according to British media reports, he employed a ghostwriter
and copied parts of his thesis.
The LSE has already had to defend itself from criticisms over its
involvement with the embattled Libyan leader after it emerged that
the Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation had
in 2009 pledged a donation worth 1.5 million pounds.
