The Colonel's Colourful Chronicles

The Colonel's Colourful Chronicles: "But you have got to admit- the flamboyancy of Libyan leader Col Muamer Gaddafi has forced the world to take notice of a man who intends to be different- be it in politics or his sense of fashion.

Recently, the world got to know a little more about the man's eccentricities through Wikileaks cables.

For instance, Gaddafi dislikes long flights and has an apparent fear of flying over water which regularly causes logistical headaches. During every international summit he attends, the Libyan delegation cannot fly more than eight hours and would halt overnight if the journey was to be longer.

Then there are some of his practices that are pretty infamous. On foreign trips, Gaddafi sets up camp in a luxury Bedouin tent and is accompanied by armed female bodyguards.

Take a quick peek into the colourful world of Colonel Muamer Gaddafi."
