I don't know for sure what this is, but I do know what it isn't. Libya's
domestic service always refers to the country as the 'Jamahiriya' (a term
coined by Ghadaffi as an amalgam of jamaheer and jumhuriya), so it can't be
Tripoli. Off the top of my head, the only two Arab countries I know that use
Big Ben type chimes are Iraq and Egypt.The ID you heard could fit both of
them. Maybe that narrows it down a bit...
