DAMASCUS - Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi warned Arab allies of the United States that they could meet the same fate as former Iraq president Saddam Hussein, hanged in 2006 three years after the US-led invasion.“A foreign force occupied an Arab country and hanged its president and we stood by and watched,” he told an Arab summit in the Syrian capital. “How can they execute a prisoner of war and the president of a member of the Arab League?” Gaddafi asked.
He said Saddam had been a friend of the United States during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s “before they turned against him and executed him.” “You could all suffer the same fate,” he warned.

Gaddafi also deplored what he called a lack of unity among the 22-member Arab League. “We insult each other and we plot against one another,” he said. ”We share the same blood and the same language, although it is threatened with disappearance, but apart from that nothing unites us.”
