STORYLINE:
In a rare show of support for the United States, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi said on Sunday America had the right to take revenge for the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.
However, Gadhafi suggested the United States would have a very difficult time if it tried to attack Afghanistan.
The Libyan leader made the comments at a remembrance day rally in Benghazi, east of Tripoli.
He went on to suggest that any attempt to try and capture Saudi exile Osama Bin Laden would only result in more terrorist attacks.
Libya has been at odds with Washington over American accusations that it supports terrorism.
But after the attacks last Tuesday, Gadhafi expressed his condemnation of the devastation and support for the American victims.
On Sunday, he said the nations of the world have to get together and determine the reasons why terrorism develops.
Gadhafi also urged Libyans to follow the example of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and donate blood for the victims of the attacks.
