Muammar Gaddafi says al-Qaeda is involved in the nation's uprising and has hinted that a "very well known leader" of the organisation is involved.

"The involvement of al-Qaeda in the conflict in Libya is proven every day," said Musa Ibrahim during a news conference. "We believe it's very dangerous if these people establish themselves in this country, have control of its future, its immense wealth a footstep from Europe."
