'Give me 500 beautiful Italian girls': Colonel Gaddafi hires
escort agency women during Rome summit and then tries
to convert them to Islam.
Bizarre: One of the models displays the Koran and Green Book
given to her by Colonel Gaddafi, right. The Green Book is the
leader's views on democracy and his political philosophy

Libyan dictator Colonel Gaddafi asked an escort agency to supply 500 ‘beautiful Italian girls’ for a gala
evening at which he tried to convert them to Islam, it emerged today.
The 67-year-old leader also requested that they ‘were
aged between 18 and 35 years old, did not wear mini skirts
or have plunging necklines but high heels were OK.’
The women, all glamorously dressed, were told to meet at
a hotel in the centre of Rome, where Gaddafi is attending
a summit on world food security, before being taken to
the Libyan ambassador’s residence in the city.
Several of them were turned away after being told they were inappropriately
dressed or they were too short.
Once inside - and after an hour’s delay - Gaddafi arrived in
a white limousine to lecture the girls on the superiority of Islam.
He also gave a talk on the Muslim Koran and gave all the girls
a copy as a gift as well as a signed version of his Green
Book on democracy and political philosophy, written in 1975.
The all-female event took place at the same time as other
leaders’ wives were attending a forum to discuss food
poverty, led by Suzanne Mubarak, wife of Egyptian
President Hosni Mubarak.
The event in Rome has attracted several world leaders.
But Britain, the United States, Russia and other economic
powerhouses are absent from the three-day summit being
held by the Food and Agriculture Organisation.
Gaddafi has a habit of making bizarre requests when travelling
abroad - usually it is for a Bedouin tent to be pitched in the
grounds of a park.
And on an earlier visit to Rome this year he asked to speak to an audience of businesswomen.
However, this time, his lecture did not go down well with many
of the girls, who were also given a €50 cash tip.
Many of them complained they ‘felt offended as women and for
their religion’.
One blonde woman who did not give her name said: ‘I was
particularly offended when he said we believed that Christ
had been crucified but he hadn’t, instead it was someone
who looked like him and that God had saved Christ.’
