Rebels examine a photo album of former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, which was found in Moammar Gadhafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound in Tripoli, Libya, on August 24. Photo from MSNBC
Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi appears to have something of a crush for former US State Secretary Condoleezza Rice, a photo album found by the rebels in his compound indicates.
After successfully storming Gaddafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound in downtown Tripoli earlier this week, rebel fighters have discovered a bizarre album with photos of the US Secretary of State in the second Bush Administration, MSNBC reported.
The photos show Condoleezza Rice at a number of public events, with many of them being close-ups.
Back in September 2008, Rice and Gaddafi had what was widely described by international media as an "intimate, late-night dinner" when Rice became the highest-ranking US official to visit Libya since then-Vice President Richard Nixon in 1957, and the Libyan dictator broke his Ramadan fast.
"I support my darling black African woman," Gaddafi said in a 2007 interview for Al Jazeera, adding, "I admire and am very proud of the way she leans back and gives orders to the Arab leaders ... Leezza, Leezza, Leezza. ... I love her very much. I admire her and I'm proud of her because she's a black woman of African origin."
Other senior international government figures which have been rumored to have had a thing for the former US State Secretary include former Canadian Foreign Minister Peter McKay, former British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, former Italian Foreign Minister Massimo D'Alema, The New York Times reminds.
