Gaddafi says Coke is African

Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi claims Coca Cola is African and wants a share of the money.

He says Coca-Cola should pay a percentage of every can or bottle sold to governments across the continent.

Speaking at a celebration marking the seventh anniversary of the African Union, Gaddafi said: "The essential ingredients for Coca Cola come from African plants and so compensation must be paid to us."

The Libyan leader is known for his bizarre claims and in the past claimed William Shakespeare was actually an Arab immigrant to England called Sheikh Zubeir.
