The Libyan leader, Col. Mummar Gaddafi has walked out of an Arab league summit in a row over its agenda.
The gesture was a further blow to the Tunis metting which was cancelled in March over a disagreement over reforms.
'Libya sees itself forced to boycott the summit because it does not agree with the agenda,' Col. Gaddafi said.
The Arab league meeting is due to disuss the occupation of Iraq-including prisoner abuse-as well as the Israeli -Palestinian conflict.
Col. Gaddafi walked out of the conference hall in Tunis during a speech by Arab league Secretary General Amr Moussa.
Diplomats said Gaddafi was apparently annoyed by Mr. Moussa's criticism of Arabs who act unilaterally-an apparent reference to Libya's decision to scrap programs to develop weapons of mass destruction.
He has often threatened to pull Libya out of the Arab league, and had to be urged by fellow leaders to attend this summit to show unity.

This Arab Summit bothers me. Chaps me to no end that there is no outrage over suicide teen bombers whose families are rewarded, no outrage over beheadings, etc. No apologies here, nope.
Sanctions and the spectacle of Saddam being dragged out of a hole may have had an effect, but Gaddafi never really got over the humiliation that Reagan dealt him over the Gulf of Sidra. It was a Doolittle raid moment in Jihad War III
Thanks! I think Muammar should then "Bring It On"!
We destroyed lots of scuds during the initial spearhead I believe.
He's gotta have some kind of ***** to wear that purple robe getup !!!! If he ever comes to the U.S he'll drive the Gay Parade types crazy.
What SCUDS? It's been over a year and we've found no SCUDS; therefore, the SCUDS obviously did not exist.
Exactly.. like teenager girls slamming doors saying "I HATE YOU".
He looks like a drag queen.
