Tripoli: Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has accused European states of killing hundreds of African migrants by deliberately sinking their boats to stop them reaching Europe.
"This tragedy is unfolding. A war on the Mediterranean sea is being waged against Africans," Gaddafi told leaders of African trade unions he met in Tripoli late on Thursday.
The Libyan leader's remarks were carried by the Libyan state news agency Jana on Friday. The European Union's executive Commission declined to comment.
