Gaddafi's secret 'weapon' uncovered

Al Jazeera has uncovered the whole story behind a secret weapon used by Muammar Gadaffi, the late Libyan leader, during the country's uprising to sidetrack and frustrate European governments.

Speaking publicly for the first time, people in the western town of Zuwarah tell how Gaddafi's military took over their port, confiscated their fishing boats and used them as a base of operations to send away hundreds of Africans to Italy.

But the enduring casualties are the black migrants - exploited, then demonised. They are in hiding all over Libya now, unwanted and afraid.

Anita McNaught reports from Zuwarah.

Again a blatant Al-Jazeera LIE !

Muammar Gathafi and italian PM Silvio Berlusconi took 2008 the initiative to fight against human traffickingers and related criminals in the Benghazi region! This region is well known for human trafficking and drug trade.Even the US officially mentions the region of Benghazi a "terrorist region"!

The shameless dirty Liars of BBC, Al-Jazeera, Al-Arabia, CNN, Sky and many other disgusting Liars should be sued !

Just massive Disinformation. Just Dirty !

Just think for one second about the claim that Aljazeera is making here!

They are saying to us that in a country that has 160 billion dollars as money to spare... Aljazeera claims that Gaddafi is taking money of black people to smuggle them to Europe in overcrowded boats!

THIS CLAIM ALONE EXPOSES ALJAZEERA'S LIES AND DECEPTIONS !

CAN ANYONE REALLY BELIEVE THAT GADDAFI WHO GAVE BILLIONS TO HELP THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA WILL THEN TAKE FEW DOLLARS FROM POOR DESPERATE IMMIGRANTS?
