LONDON?- Organizers for London's 2012 Olympics Games say Libya has been given hundreds of tickets to the events.
A spokeswoman for London 2012 says the tickets went to Libya's Olympic Committee - "not an individual" - for distribution to sports organizations and athletes.
She was responding to a report late Tuesday in Britain's Daily Telegraph claiming Moammar Gadhafi's son, who heads the country's Olympic committee, received hundreds of passes to the games.
Key members of Gadhafi's?regime are under travel bans and there is no indication the Libyan leader or his son plan to - or could - attend the Olympics.
The London Olympic organizing committee is obliged to give tickets to any of the International Olympic Committee member states who request them.
