To the best of my knowledge, Gaddafi is the only world leader to have female bodyguards. All these girls have black belts in karate. They always carry weapons - a submachine gun, five clips of ammunition, a pistol, a revolver and a knife - even in conference rooms. In an assassination attempt on Gaddafi, one of the girls, Aisha, eventually gave her life as she shielded the leader.
Africa's undisputed newly crowned longest-serving ruler,Muammar Gaddafi, who has been in power for 42yrs.
Col Gaddafi led a coup by young army officers in September 1969, then set about establishing his own political system, as laid out in his Green Book; and he's been there ever since.
In 2008 he was named 'king of kings' by a meeting of Africa's traditional rulers.
