Libyan Leader Muammar Kadhafi decided to deliver his speech behind closed doors at the Arab summit after his request to be the first speaker at the evening meeting was denied Tuesday. 

According to a source at the Jordan TV, transmission was ceased until Kadhafi finished with his speech before the other leaders took their turn and addressed the conference on air.  

“That’s why we had to cut the transmission until he finished,” the source said. 

Another source, a director at JTV, said that a verbal fight took place between the Egyptian and the Sudanese delegations. 

He gave no further details.
