TRIPOLI - Muammar Gaddafi criticised on Saturday the popular uprising in neighboring Egypt that forced Hosni Mubarak from power this year as the Libyan leader battles rebels who have claimed swathes of the country.

Gaddafi, who has stayed in power despite four months of NATO-led air strikes and a rebel campaign against his 41-year rule, questioned the value of the popular movements in Egypt, and in Libya's western neighbor, Tunisia.

"Why did you undertake the revolution? Answer me, why did you undertake the revolution?" Gaddafi said in an audio address to Egyptians on the anniversary of the 1952 coup that ended Egypt's monarchy and paved the way for the late Gamal Abdel Nasser to take power.
