Gaddafi popped up on state television again, calling in from some unknown location. Astonishingly, he compared himself to Queen Elizabeth II, saying he was only a symbolic leader of Libya. Gaddafi also blamed the unrest on al-Qaeda arming drugged teenagers.
He said that "It's obvious now that this issue has been lead by al-Qaeda ...get control of your children, keep them at home". Gaddafi said the protesters had no genuine demands and were being dictated to by Osama Bin Laden.
He claimed that married people with families and good jobs weren't participating in the protests, saying that no one over the age of 20 was involved and that "people with any brains won't take part in these protests". He characterized the protesters as "trigger happy" youngsters that shoot "especially when they are stoned with drugs".
