TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) - Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi expressed criticism Thursday for the handing over of exiled Liberian President Charles Taylor to the United Nations on war crimes charges.
Speaking at the opening of a one-day summit of the 23 regional countries, Gadhafi did not name Nigeria — the country that delivered Taylor to the U.N. — but he said the decision to surrender the Liberian had tarnished Africa's image.
"Handing over former Liberian President Charles Taylor to an international court is an immoral act and has harmed Africa," Gadhafi said, adding that his view did not mean he supported Taylor's policies.
