Libyan leader Muammar Qadaffy has accused European states of killing hundreds of African migrants by deliberately sinking their boats to stop them reaching Europe. | Maybe they should stay in Senegal or Burkina Faso. Or Libya. |
The Libyan leader's remarks were carried by the Libyan state news agency Jana on Friday. It was the first time he had made such allegations and he did not name any country in particular. The European Union's executive Commission declined to comment.
