Gaddafi To Sue Palestinian News Agency Over Health Claims
(AKI) - Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi said Tuesday he was suing the Palestinian news agency Maan which claimed he had suffered a stroke and was in a coma. "The Arabs and those who control them are behind this." | "I am ready to sue this news agency so it will not continue to lie," he told reporters in Tripoli. "It should face justice." The Libyan leader then blamed the false reports on the Arab world: "The Arabs and those who control them are behind this." The news agency has apologised for the report - according to which Gaddafi's relatives were all gathering at a hospital in the port city of Benghazi, where he was in a critical condition - blaming the mistake on an unreliable source.
