Al Jazeera has obtained secret recordings of Muammar Gaddafi made during the Libyan revolution.

The recordings are mobile phone wire taps of two members of Gaddafi’s inner circle, Al-Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi, his prime minister and Tayeb el Safi, one of his most trusted aides.

The audio files contain 12,000 intercepted conversations with Gaddafi himself, his sons, and members of the international community.

The phone calls took place between February and June of last year, the same time that Libya’s opposition rose up against the Gaddafi regime.

See the video below for the audio transcript.

NICOLAS Sarkozy received €50 million from Muammar Gaddafi in illegal funding for his 2007 presidential election campaign, it has been claimed.

The ”terms” for handing over the money were agreed between the two men in Libya two years before Mr Sarkozy’s election, documents published by French investigative website Mediapart suggest.

Mediapart has handed a memo to a judge that alleges that the meeting on October 6, 2005, resulted in ”campaign financing” of ”NS [Nicolas Sarkozy]” being ”totally paid”.

Aisha Gaddafi’s lawyer Nick Kaufman said on Wednesday the move is intended in part to show that Libya’s National Transitional Council isn’t capable of holding a fair trial for her brother Saif al-Islam, who was arrested in the country’s remote southern desert in November.

The former rebels who, backed by Nato, toppled Gaddafi last year set up fresh check-points in the capital Tripoli, Benghazi, the eastern birthplace of the uprising, the western port city of Misurata and other towns.

Libya’s new rulers have not organised any official celebrations at a national level as a mark of respect for the thousands of people killed in the bloody conflict that saw Gaddafi captured and slain on October 20.

But spontaneous commemorations began nationwide in cities and towns led by residents of Benghazi, the city which first rose against Kadhafi and his 42-year-old regime.

In response, Niger pledged to tighten house surveillance of Saadi, who fled south to the West African state in September as Libyan rebels gained the upper hand over Gaddafi’s forces. But it reiterated that Saadi could not be handed over to a state where he could face execution.

After journalists reported Monday that soldiers loyal to slain Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi had retaken Bani Walid, militia groups in Tripoli, Misrata and the Nafusa Mountains were put on high alert, setting up checkpoints and sending reinforcements to secure the routes in and out of the area.
