Muammar Gadhafi blames al-Qaida insurgency in his country

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi insisted that Al Qaeda is responsible for the insurgency in his country and accused the Western media to manipulate reality by exaggerating the extent of the political crisis and the death toll in Libya. In an interview with France 24 television, Gadhafi again accused the militant network headed by Osama Bin Laden to sink into chaos Libya to take advantage of the situation.

It also reiterated its rejection of allegations of crimes against humanity, which earned him the condemnation of the United Nations and the opening of an investigation by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. Gadhafi denied reports of Western media about mass killings and said that since the revolt began, on 15 February, more than 200 people have died, including military, police and rebels.

''There have been between 150 and 200 people dead. People should come here and see how many people have died. They can come and check on the population and between the police and the army,''he said. Reported that there is an international conspiracy that deliberately distorts the truth.

''The image inside Libya is not reflecting the media, many manipulate the truth. In Tripoli's Green Square is Gadhafi's supporters, but the press does not cover that,''he said. I do not understand why''allies like France and Italy now interfere in our internal affairs when we do not intervene in their affairs,''lamented the Libyan leader, who denied that his country alive a civil war between troops and rebels loyal to the regime .

Facing international criticism, Gadhafi said that his regime played a crucial role in the containment of Al Qaeda and the massive waves of illegal immigrants destined for European shores. Libya''has very good relations with the United States, European Union and African countries, and plays a crucial role in regional and global peace,''he said.

''There are millions of blacks who could reach the Mediterranean and then jump to France and Italy, if Libya fails to ensure security,''the Libyan leader in France 24.
