Perhaps they want to occupy LibyaWASHINGTON (ANTARA News/Reuters) - Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, facing a popular uprising, accused Western countries of abandoning his government in its fight against "terrorists" in an interview with U.S. television network ABC on Monday.
"I`m surprised that we have an alliance with the West to fight al Qaeda, and now that we are fighting terrorists they have abandoned us," Gaddafi, told ABC`s Christiane Amanpour.
"Perhaps they want to occupy Libya."
Gaddafi called U.S. President Barack Obama a "good man" but said he appeared to be misinformed about the situation in Libya, ABC News reported on its website.
"The statements I have heard from him must have come from someone else," Gaddafi said. "America is not the international police of the world," he added.
