Gaddafi pitches tent in Rome

Libya's Colonel Muammar Gaddafi will pitch a giant Bedouin tent in Rome this weekend as he arrives in Italy to celebrate the second anniversary of his immigration deal with Silvio Berlusconi.

Thirty thoroughbred Berber horses and 40 bodyguards will accompany the Libyan leader as he sets up camp to commemorate the signing of an accord worth €5 billion ($9 billion) under which Rome agreed to pay reparations for its colonial rule of Libya between 1911 and 1943.
