Khadaffi has long been an agitator in the region...the other day I was reading about his disastrous incursions into Chad in the late 80s that all but destroyed his army and he turned to mercenaries when he rebuilt it. Those mercs aren't all being flown in (some are...especially from Nigeria) but have been in the country all along.
Yes it is rife for rumors as Libya has been a closed society and Khadaffi's "eccentricity" (being generous) makes it difficult to determine what stuff he says is truth and what is bullshit. The big concern is that Khadaffi will encourage a bloodbath as his only way to retain power and has the billions to fund it.
