Libya’s Moammar El-Qaddafi has arrived in Moscow, pitching his tent in a garden on the Kremlin grounds:
Located a few meters from the building where Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has his office, the military-style tent was decorated with North African fabrics and a metal barbecue grill has been set up in front, a Reuters reporter said.
A large, flat-screen television was switched on inside the tent.
The weekend wasn’t all just TV and burgers, though; Qaddafi apparently signed a nuclear cooperation deal with Russia during his visit.
