Gadhafi blames foreign meddling for Africa wars

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi says much of Africa's violence is due to foreign meddling and that Israel in particular is to blame for stoking conflicts there.

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi says much of Africa's violence is due to foreign meddling and that Israel in particular is to blame for stoking conflicts there.

Gadhafi's comments came Monday during an extraordinary African Union summit scheduled to coincide with a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the coup that brought Gadhafi to power.

The Libyan leader blamed much of Africa's violence on what he described as intervention by unnamed "foreign powers," bent on plundering Africa's natural resources.

While Gadhafi and other African leaders often blame foreign hands for stoking internal divisions, this was one of the most explicit and targeted Gadhafi outbursts in many years.

Like most Arab countries, Libya does not recognize Israel.
