Be aware of Dictators’ ways…
While a Swiss foreign ministry spokesman said: "This is not a crisis – it is an extraordinary situation."
The extraordinary situation occurred when Hannibal the youngest son of the Libyan Dictator Gaddafi beat up two women of his wife’s servants, while on a visit to Switzerland, and the two women complained to the Swiss authority.
The Libyan Dictator Gaddafi could not understand How all People [rich and poor] in Switzerland are subject to the same law and therefore took a retaliatory measures against Swiss interests EXACTLY a week after Hannibal Gaddafi, the Libyan leader's youngest son, was arrested with his heavily pregnant wife Aline at a Geneva five-star hotel and spent two nights in a court cell.
The couple, who were released on bail and have left the country, were charged by a magistrate with inflicting physical injuries and using threats and force against two of their staff, who lodged a formal complaint.

5- On Thursday the head of Libya's state-run General National Maritime Transportation Company said that all the country's oil shipments to Switzerland had been stopped.

2- The Libyans are heavily engaged in the Swiss oil market – they own the Tamoil refinery in Collombey, canton Valais, in addition to about 320 service stations in Switzerland.
1-So it would be counterproductive as like A Libyan embargo against own goal…
2-This would encourage the Swiss to purchase oil elsewhere, and they have the reserve to do it…
Saturday Swiss President Pascal Couchepin told Blick newspaper he was ready to meet Gaddafi in order to resolve the crisis… {Or maybe to ask him Why ?}
