Libyan President Moammar Gadhafi is shown greeting a crowd gathered outside the governor's office in Marsa Matruh, Egypt, about 400 kilometers (250 miles) northwest of Cairo in this March 5, 1999 photo. Gadhafi staged an elaborate welcome for six Western hostages in Tripoli, Libya Tuesday, Aug. 29, 2000 whose freedom he bought from rebel kidnappers in the Philippines. The exhausted former captives, wearing T-shirts emblazoned with the Libyan leader's face were greeted at the ruins of the house where Gadhafi's adopted daughter was killed in a 1986 U.S. bombing.
