Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi is 'delusional' and unfit to lead, a senior US diplomat has said.

The colonel is"disconnected from reality", according to the US ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice. Libya's longtime ruler is "slaughtering his own people" while laughing off questions from the West, Rice stated.

She made the comments following an interview Gaddafi gave in which he insisted the people of Libya love him and denied that there have been any demonstrations against his regime.

On Monday, Gaddafi denied there have been any protests in Tripoli and expressed confidence that he is loved by all his people.

"My people love me. They would die for me," Gaddafi said Monday in an interview for the BBC, ABC News and the Sunday Times of London. He refused to acknowledge there have been any demonstrations in Tripoli and he denied ever using force against his people.
