WikiLeaks: Gaddafi family a web of greed, nepotism

The children of Muammar Gaddafi were increasingly engaged in recent months in covering up scandals fit for a "Libyan soap opera," including negative publicity from extravagant displays of wealth, such as a million-dollar private concert by pop diva Beyonce, according to a new batch of secret diplomatic cables released Wednesday.

 

The assessments by US diplomats were published by the secret-spilling web site WikiLeaks as Gaddafi vowed to fight to the "last drop of blood" to put down an uprising against his 42-year rule of the North African nation. At least 300 protesters are believed to have been killed by pro-government forces in the past week of clashes. (AP)
