Colonel Muammar Gaddafi designs a "safe" car
Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has invented a sleek James Bond-style car, which Libya says is the safest vehicle on earth.
The car was unveiled on the 30th anniversary of the revolution which propelled the Libyan leader to power.
The Saroukh el-Jamahiriya (Libyan rocket) a five-passenger saloon in a metallic Libyan revolutionary green with tinted windows, was launched at a special summit of the Organisation of African Unity organised by Colonel Gaddafi.
The car has the aerodynamic lines of conventional models but the front and rear ends are rocket-shaped.
The interior is replete with air bags, an inbuilt electronic defence system, and a collapsible bumper which protects passengers in head-on collisions.
