This is Colonel Gaddafi's prophetic warning to Tony Blair.

Gaddafi's gloomy forecast took place during two desperate calls with Blair on February 25, 2011, while Libya was being involved in civil war.

In the first call, at 11:15 a.m., Gaddafi said: “They (the jihadists) want to control the Mediterranean and then, they will attack Europe”.

During the call, which lasted half an hour, Gaddafi insisted he was trying to protect Libya from al-Qaeda fighters. The presence of al-Qaeda would later be replaced by the climb of the Islamic State.

“We're not fighting us, are the ones that are attacking us”, he said, “I want to tell you the truth. It's not a difficult situation at all. History is simple: An organization has established sleeping cells in North Africa. It's called the Al Qaeda Organization in North Africa... The sleeping Cellules in Libya are similar to the sleeping cells in America before September 11, 2001. They've managed to provide weapons and freak people out.

People can't leave their homes... It's a jihad situation. They've got guns and they're terrorizing people on the ground”.

In a second phone call made four hours later, Gaddafi tells Blair: “Libyans will die, suffer great damage to the Mediterranean, Europe and the whole world. These armed groups are using the situation in Libya as an excuse and we're fighting”.

Blair had made two phone calls to Gaddafi, trying to negotiate the dictator's departure from Tripoli, while the country was involved in civil war. Three weeks later, a NATO-led coalition, including Britain, launched bomber attacks that led to Gaddafi's overthrow. The dictator fell down in August and was killed by crowds in October.

Tony Blair had developed a friendship with Gaddafi and had visited the Libyan leader at least six times after leaving the prime minister's post in 2007.

He was checked for calls with David Cameron and Hilari Clinton, then Secretary of State, in an effort to convince Gaddafi to leave Libya safely and avoid further conflict.

The existence of the calls became known last year, and Blair passed the transcripts to the Foreign Relations Commission, which is investigating Libya's collapse. The commission, composed of deputies, published transcripts yesterday.

In the calls, Blair tells Gaddafi: “If you have a safe place to go, you have to go there, because this is not going to end peacefully and there must be a process of change, that process change can be managed and we have to find a way to manage it.

“The US and the EU are in a tough position at this moment and I have to give them something to guarantee that this will end peacefully”.

Blair concluded the call saying: “

Gaddafi's warnings seem to have been met. Libya collapsed after his fall. The country remains locked in civil war, and most of it is under the control of Islamic extremists linked to the Islamic State.

Terrorists Sent by I SIS in France were responsible for the attacks in Paris in November, as concern of jihadists entering Europe through North Africa and the Middle East grew.

Crispin Blunt, head of the Commission, said: “Transcrypts of conversations Mr. Blair, they offer us a new look at Colonel Gaddafi's private views as his dictatorship began to collapse”.
