Gaddafi, Muammar (1942–) Arab nationalist leader of Libya (1970?–) who removed U.S. and British military bases from the country shortly after leading a coup that overthrew the monarchy of King Idris I (1969). In 1973 he nationalized all foreign-owned petroleum assets in the country. His government's financing of revolutionary and terrorist groups worldwide brought him into conflict with the United States, and in 1986 U.S. warplanes bombed several sites in Libya.
