TRIPOLI, July 25 (Reuters) - Families of Libyan children infected with HIV called on Libya to cut relations with Bulgaria, deport all Bulgarian nationals and stop dealing with Bulgarian companies.

In a statement on Wednesday they also said the six foreign medics convicted of infecting the children and pardoned by Bulgaria's president should be re-arrested by Interpol.

"The families expressed their condemnation and resentment at the recklessness of the Bulgarian nation when the Bulgarian president pardoned the nurses," they said in a statement.

"This confirms the statements of Osama Bin Laden in which he said the West disdains Muslim blood.

"The families demand officially that Interpol police arrest the convicted medics to spend the rest of their punishment in jail."
