Tony Blair used his final foreign trip as prime minister to sign a confidential deal with Muammar Gaddafi to train Libyan special forces and supply him with Nato secrets.

A copy of the accord obtained by The Daily Telegraph shows that the two leaders agreed to co-operate on defence matters in a range of areas, including exchanging information about defence structures and technology.

It was signed during the former Labour prime minister’s “Blair-well” tour of Africa in May 2007, in Gaddafi’s tent in the Libyan desert.

Included in the document was an agreement on “co-operation in the training of specialised military units, special forces and border security units”. They also signed up to “exchanges of information on Nato and EU military and civil security organisations”. The document was personally signed by Mr Blair and Gaddafi.

2. There was a time when I felt almost sorry for Blair, thinking the US under Bush

pushed him to do things that will forever haunt him. Now, I wonder if possibly he was as bad or worse than Bush.

It is incomprehensible why anyone would give NATO secrets to and train people for Gaddafi. It also puts the release of that man accused in the Pan-Am mass terrorism in perspective.

3. I wonder if they could have used this operation to train opposition forces
