Gadhafi: US has made Bin Laden a "saint"

Edited on Sun Aug-03-03 09:11 PM by Mari333

The comments came during an interview with George Stephanopoulos recorded Wednesday for broadcast on ABC's "This Week."

"America is not doing that intentionally or on purpose," Gadhafi said through an interpreter. "America actually is fighting him, but fighting bin Laden led us to this reality."

Gadhafi said in southern Africa, there are "pictures of bin Laden everywhere." And he has seen children wearing T-shirts with pictures of bin Laden. snip

2. Libya was the first country

to issue an Interpol arrest warrant for Bin Laden, in March 1998.

Here's an interesting related story: "MI6 Halted Bid to Arrest Bin Laden":
