Book describes alleged use of sex as a weapon of power by Gaddafi

A new book by a French journalist described the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi , who died in 2011, as a "sexual predator" who kidnapped and raped her, according to the author, "thousands" of victims, including men. Until Libyan ministers, military, actresses and wives of presidents and African diplomats have suffered sexual abuse by Gaddafi, says journalist Annick Cojean, special reporter of the daily Le Monde. Gadhafi, who has ruled Libya for 42 years, had an unbridled sexuality, with impulses that needed to be met four times per day, according to the author, who based his book on reports made by victims, teachers, doctors and former employees of dictator. Cojean account in the book "Les Proies - Dans le harem of Gaddafi" (Prey - In Gaddafi's harem) that the former leader had employees seeking girls, and sometimes boys too, everywhere, like schools, Holidays homes and villages. "Gaddafi watching videos of weddings to select girls, so when he did not choose his own bride. Many Libyans were hesitant to invite him to parties for fear that their daughters were taken then," said Cojean the French media during the promotion work the book. She said the former leader also sexually abused celebrities, journalists, generals daughters or wives of politicians, sometimes through the use of force. In other cases, distributing bags of jewels and money later. "Gadhafi forced some ministers to have sex with him to control them by a kind of blackmail. Course no one was interested in talking about this total humiliation. He proceeded similarly with tribal leaders, diplomats and military influence to have about them, "he says. One of the interviewees in the book, Mansour Daw, a former security chief and cousin of Gaddafi, who is in prison, does not deny those aspects of the scheme and claims to have performed the marriage of his son discreetly, banning the use of cell phones to avoid that Gadhafi could see pictures from the party. "I did not want my family were a victim of their acts," Daw said the journalist, the book says.

"Magic Touch"

During events such as school visits, Gadhafi himself could also designate a teenager to put his hand on his head, claims the journalist. "It was a code for their guards, signaling that he wanted the girl, usually in the range of 13 to 15 years old," says Cojean. The "signal" given by Gaddafi to his guards was called, she said, the "magic touch". "These young people served to feed his sexual brutality. He kept them in the basement of his home in Bab al-Azizia (a fortified barracks), and raping, forcing them to drink, get high and watch porn," says Cojean. The underground sequestration of residence, with numerous rooms, could last a few days or much longer. As the turnover was huge, Cojean says it is impossible to know the exact number of victims. "This is the most sordid harem terrible taboo the years Gaddafi. Today, despite the death of the former leader, victims still have everything to lose if he revealed the secret, "says the journalist. "The social and religious pressure is very strong. They will be rejected and their families as well. Fathers, brothers and husbands are considered sub-human because they did not wash the honor with blood," said Cojean.

AIDS testing

According to the book, Ukrainian nurses performed blood tests on the victims to make sure they did not have AIDS, since Qaddafi had strong fears of contracting the disease. The doctor Faisel Krekshi appointed dean of the University of Tripoli after the revolution, told journalists have discovered in the building of the institution a "bachelor" with jacuzzi and golden taps. According to the journalist, he said he found on site eight or nine DVDs with images of sexual assaults committed by Gaddafi, but said it had destroyed the material to preserve the victims. Across the room, there was a gynecological examination room fully equipped, the journalist who claims to have visited. "I see only two possibilities of utilizing this hidden room: abortions and hymen reconstruction surgeries, banned in Libya," said Krekshi.

Before writing the book, Cojean was published last year, a report in Le Monde about the girl Soraya, who after delivering flowers to Gaddafi during a visit to her school when she was 15, received the "magic touch". The girl, who lived in Sirte, Gaddafi's hometown, was taken the next day by three women and has been for five years his sex slave. Soraya was part of the team that were welded safety of Gaddafi and accompanied by all sides. In the West, these women, disguised and sculptural, were called "Amazons". "This guard Gadhafi was a facade. They were his sex slaves and there were really very few military training. Their real security was held by men," says the author. To Cojean, Gaddafi has used sex as a political weapon. "Taking means women dominate men," she says. The book will be released this month in Libya. "I think it will cause a huge shock and debates in the country," says Cojean.

Turkey retaliates by attacking Syria for sixth straight day

Turkey launched another artillery attack against the cities of Syria near its border on Monday, marking the sixth consecutive day of retaliation by the Turkish army. The answer came after a new mortar launched from Syrian territory have hit a rural area in the province of Hatay in the south of the country. The President of Turkey, Abdullah Gul urged the international community to support and lamented what he called the contamination of neighboring countries with the violence of war civl Syrian. "This scenario was the most feared," he said. The UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon also expressed concern at the escalation of violence between the two countries and classified the situation as "very dangerous". According to reports in the Turkish state news agency Anadolu, the mortar launched by Syria on Monday hit a cotton plantation near the city of Altinozu. Several people worked on site, but no one was injured. The recurrence of attacks of recent days suggest that the episodes are not accidental. Turkey's parliament last week had authorized military action against Syria, a day after the first mortar Syria have reached a Turkish city on the border. The measure, approved by 320 votes in favor and rejected by 129 MPs, gives the government for one year, the authority to send troops to Syria or bomb targets in the neighboring country. The Turkish deputy prime minister, Besir Atalay, said the move was not a declaration of war against Syria, but rather a way of trying to deter attacks from the neighboring country. "There is a law of war," said Atalay, saying that Turkey's priority is to act in coordination with international bodies.

A fight of 90 minutes (Messi vs Ronaldo), Real Madrid have lost a chance

Wait perhaps more political than sport, a fight of 90 minutes, two phenomena, one draw. The final Clasico could be summed up, but it would be very simple, because the boundary (the audience) and the icing on the cake (Messi and Ronaldo) cancel out the substance of a game that was particularly different from the Guardiola era.

THE VERTICAL OF REAL MADRID

Mourinho was presented at the Camp Nou with his "senators", forgetting Coentrao, Modric and reviving Kaka to make room for Khedira and Özil, oiled players in a game system rodatissimo that in the first 25 minutes was nothing short of dominant . Pressing up, recovery and large vertical ball on the counterattack, with the Barca seemed lost in his own world of possession, suddenly become alien in Catalan theater. Benzema the butt shot on the fly, Ramos puts out nothing's header, but the third time ago CR7 center ammutolendo the public and by ruling the superiority madridista, confirmed a few seconds later by the resounding pole of Benzema, that if he eats a another when he could (and should) make the decision with the race to the capital.

8 INCHES OF SUFFERING AND THEN PUT

Tito Vilanova was definitely taken aback, but was able to react. The coach of Barça took courage in the initial choices (Adriano central defender to manage the property with the highest quality possible) and initially has paid, risking the collapse in the first half hour and highlighting the suffering Blaugrana on dead-ball: the opportunity Ramos 'to 19' is emblematic, with Özil kicking a corner slowly, raising the parable simply to give the defender time to pull in the running for the gore out a breath. The clear physical superiority of the Real (on average 8 cm in height more per player!) Could make a difference, but the highlight of the goal - rather than causal - 1-1 of Messi question everything, especially from the psychological point of view.

REAL FRAGILE, BARCELONA flashes

The error on the tie Pepe Catalan did emerge fears madridiste all of a sudden, with Real unable to continue its high pressure, not so much for lack of intensity for the inaccuracy in launching the counterattack, which has enabled Barça to raise the center of gravity in turn, boosting the statistics of possession to the 2-1 punishment magic of Leo, at which - however - Xabi Alonso deserved his second yellow card. Ironically, the advantage of the hosts did well at Real, a team that remains fragile (at least in the Clasico) but also knows how to react to the great when it's back to the wall: the stroke of genius that sends Özil brings CR7 is by applause, on the contrary state of lethargy that wraps then the men of Mourinho, Kaka and Higuain who do not find the right energy for the final assault. An assault which becomes all Catalan, finding vent in the transom sensational Montoya (would have been the perfect "accidental hero") and the occasion wasted by Pedro in full recovery, signs of growing that leaves a bit of a bad taste in mouth to Xavi and his companions, although overall the game was controlled most of the muscles that merengue foil from Barca.

MORE BALANCE, BUT AT THE FALL?

A little 'as happened in the last two duels Super Cup between Barcelona and Real Madrid, the Clasico is more balanced than in the era Guardiola: Real Madrid seems less and less restrained by his awe (but emerge dangerously at times, as we have seen) but nevertheless failed to close the game when he could have, or to turn then in the second. The physical variable, in the end, was not decisive about the Barca failed to defend giving up only two corner kicks, but there must also be said that the Catalans have paid this attention offensively, given that Xavi and Iniesta played with precision, but almost horizontally only. The Barcelona as a result has built up to the very frontline, but without affecting continuously over the last 16 meters. In the face of this balance "to the bottom", we thought two phenomena make the Clasico still lively and spectacular to talk about Messi and Ronaldo statistics, records, it is only a pity that in January the Ballon d'Or will be awarded only one, certainly both deserve it. It is now a Clasico too.
