Libya's former leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in pictures
 |
Col Gaddafi turned Libya into a haven for anti-Western radicals. Any group, no matter how bloodstained or discredited, could receive his guns and cash, provided it claimed to be fighting "imperialism". Thus Idi Amin, the Ugandan despot who believed in nothing save self-enrichment and murder, was a particular favourite. When Amin [seen here with Syrian President Hafez al-Assad and Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat] faced a war which eventually overthrew him in 1979, Col Gaddafi tried to save his friend by sending Libyan troops to fight in Uganda.
