Video: Tent Erected for Gadhafi Visit Dismantled - The Associated Press

The tony city of Bedford, New York, is not happy with the visit of Libyan leader, Colonel Gadhafi, who is in America for talks at the United Nations.

Mr. Gadhafi pitched his tent at a luxury property in Bedford, but via a permit technicality, locals showed their displeasure at his presence, forcing it to be dismantled.

 The cold reception is due to his government's handling of the Lockerbie bombing that occurred in the 1980's, on an airliner over Scotland in the United Kingdom.

Many Americans died on that flight, correctly labeled an act of terrorism against innocent civilians. Recently, President Barack Obama slammed the release of the Lockerbie bomber.
