卡扎菲住所驚現“我親愛的”賴斯相冊

A bizarre photograph album filled page to page with pictures of Condoleezza Rice has been found at the compound of Colonel Gaddafi.

As citizens ransacked the sprawling lair, a number of unusual items have been looted.

Perhaps the most surprising, however, was the album, filled with glossy pictures of America's former Secretary of State.

Colonel Gaddafi had previously hinted at a serious admiration for Rice.

In an interview with Al-Jazeera television in 2007, he hinted that then-President George W. Bush's top diplomat wielded considerable influence in the Arab world.

'I support my darling black African woman,' he said at the time. 'I admire and am very proud of the way she leans back and gives orders to the Arab leaders. ... Leezza, Leezza, Leezza. ... I love her very much. I admire her, and I'm proud of her, because she's a black woman of African origin.'

The following year, Gaddafi and Rice had an opportUnity to meet when the secretary of state paid a historic visit to Libya - one that made steps toward normalising relations after the United States went decades without an ambassador in Tripoli.

She said during the trip that the U.S. 'doesn't have any permanent enemies.'

Gaddafi welcomed Rice in his home - one that President Ronald Reagan once ordered bombed in retaliation for Libya's attack on a German disco - for the traditional meal that ends the daylight fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Once again, he repeatedly addressed Rice - known as 'Condi' to her friends - as 'Leezza'.

During the visit, he presented Rice with a diamond ring, a lute, a locket with an engraved likeness of himself inside and an inscribed edition of The Green Book'.

Together, thehaul was worth $212,000.利比亞反對派在洗劫卡扎菲住所時發現了他珍藏的“賴斯相冊”，裏面貼滿了康多莉扎•賴斯的照片，令人驚異。

平民們掃蕩他的面積巨大的住所時，將一些非同尋常的物品也洗劫一空。

但最令人大跌眼鏡的是那個裝滿了美國前國務卿賴斯靚照的相冊。

卡扎菲之前就曾暗示他非常仰慕賴斯。

在2007年接受半島電視臺採訪時，他就暗示當時的布什總統的首席外交官賴斯在阿拉伯世界發揮着舉足輕重的影響。

他當時說：“我支持這位親愛的黑人非洲女性。我非常欣賞她微微後仰着對阿拉伯領導發號施令的樣子，真讓我感到驕傲……莉扎，莉扎，莉扎……我非常愛她。我欽佩她，爲她感到驕傲，因爲她是一個有非洲血統的黑人女性。”

第二年，賴斯以國務卿的身份對利比亞進行了歷史性的訪問，兩人有緣相見——此次訪問使兩國邦交正常化更近了一步，此前幾十年美國一直都沒有向利比亞首都的黎波里派駐大使。

賴斯在此次訪問中說：“美國沒有永遠的敵人”。

卡扎菲盛邀賴斯到他家做客並品嚐伊斯蘭傳統開齋美食。美國前總統羅納德•里根曾下令轟炸卡扎菲的住所，報復利比亞對一個德國迪斯科舞廳的襲擊。

這一次他又以“莉扎”稱呼賴斯，而她的朋友都叫她“康迪”。

訪問期間，卡扎菲向賴斯贈送了一枚鑽戒、一把魯特琴、一個刻有自己肖像的小掛盒、並給她題贈了一本“綠皮書”。

這些禮品總共價值21.2萬美元。
