Gaddafi visits

Muammar Gaddafi delivers 100 minute speech to UN general assembly
Muammar Gaddafi lived up his to billing as the bogeyman of this year's United Nations General Assembly by treating delegates to one of the most rambling and incoherent speeches in its history.

Gordon Brown and other political leaders scheduled to speak in a tight schedule were forced to wait in the wings as the famously eccentric Col Gaddafi delivered a sustained rant against the UN Security Council that ran to an hour and 36 minutes.

The Libyan leader has not visited the UN since he took power in 1969 and clearly wanted to make up for it by giving his views on the past four decades of history.

He called for a UN inquiry into the investigation of John F Kennedy's assassination, castigated the organisation for failing to stop 65 wars since 1945 and suggested the Security Council be renamed the "terror council".

Although Col Gaddafi, the president of the African Union, praised Barack Obama and even referred to him as "our Obama", the US president did not return the compliments.

The American seats were filled only by low to mid-ranking diplomats when the Libyan leader swept up to the podium in flowing robes.

An hour into his speech, he started complaining about jet lag. Half an hour later, the exhausted Arabic translator had to relieved by a colleague.

UN speakers are supposed to limit themselves to 15 minutes and the chamber was half empty by the time he finished.

It wasn't as long as Fidel Castro who managed four and a half hours in 1960. And the Indian politician VK Krishna Menon talked for a nearly eight hours on Kashmir in 1957.

Many viewed the tirade it as revenge for his treatment since arriving in New York. Earlier in the day, building inspectors visited the Libyan leader's Bedouin tent on an estate owned by Donald Trump 40 miles away and threatened legal action unless it was pulled down

The US is supposed to allow UN delegates to move freely within 25 miles of the organisation's headquarters but American fury over the recent release of the Lockerbie bomber, Abdelbaset ali Megrahi, has prompted repeated outcries over Col Gaddafi's accommodation plans.

The leader claims that tradition demands he travels with a Bedouin tent but previous applications to erect it in Central Park and in suburban New Jersey had to be abandoned following complaints.

Attempts to book him into several New York hotels, including the Pierre, were similarly thwarted. Staff resorted to posing as Dutch diplomats in failed attempts to rent houses in Manhattan and the Bronx.

In well-heeled Bedford – where Martha Stewart, Richard Gere and George Soros have homes – town officials rapidly ruled that the tent violated planning regulations.

The Trump Organisation insisted that Col Gaddafi was not visiting the property which had been let "on a short-term basis to Middle Eastern partners, who may or may not have a relationship to Mr Gaddafi". Mr Trump said he would investigate what happened.

The Libyan leader is now said to be staying at the Manhattan home of the Libyan mission near the UN building. He also likes to travel with a camel but there has been no sign of such an animal on his latest visit.
