| Libyan ruler Muammar al-Qaddafi came to power in 1969 after leading a military coup that ousted the Libyan king. An outspoken critic of the West, he openly supported revolutionaries and terrorist organizations for years. Starting in the late 1990s, however, Qaddafi began to seek closer ties with Western powers and with other African nations. | ||||||
