Colonel Gaddafi Pitches Tent on Trump Property

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi met his match when he pitched his tent on property owned by Donald Trump. NYC planning officials have stopped the work because it violates city regulations.

Last month Colonel Gaddafi's plan to erect a large Bedouin tent on a property in a New Jersey suburb, owned by the Libyan embassy was turned down when the U.S. government said the property could not be used for that purpose. A request to erect the tent in New York's Central Park was also turned down, reports Reuters. The tent was erected in Bedford, about 13 miles from Chappaqua, the town where former President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary, the Secretary of State, bought a home. Gaddafi and his personal bodyguard of 40 virgins have found a place to stay after attempts to book hotels ended up with only refusals. He will be staying at the home of the Libyan ambassador to the UN reports YnetNews. Trump has issued a statement saying the property was leased to Middle Eastern partners "who may or may not have a relationship to Mr. Gaddafi". Trump said he was looking into the matter, reports Reuters. Gaddafi has recently come under criticism over the decision by the Scottish government to release a Libyan citizen convicted of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 270 people. YnetNews reports that the New York Police Department does have the jurisdiction to arrest Gaddafi for an untold number of terrorist attacks, murders, and torture which he was responsible for in 35 of the 40 years of his reign. Of course, this will not happen but instead, the notorious Libyan leader will be invited to speak before the UN General Assembly immediately following President Barrack Obama's address Wednesday.
