ROME (Reuters) - Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has said it would be dangerous for the European Union to admit Turkey as a member state, calling the accession bid a 'Trojan horse' for Islamic militants like Osama bin Laden.
'As far as the Islamic world is concerned -- including the Islamic extremists, even bin Laden -- they're rejoicing over the entry of Turkey in the European Union. This is their Trojan horse,' he was quoted as saying by the Italian media."
