Colonel Muammar Gaddafi (or Mu'Ammar Qathafi or even Ghaddafi - there is no single correct transliteration for Arabic words) came to power in a virtually bloodless coup in 1969, deposing King Idris who had ruled Libya since independence in 1951.

Khadafi (it's Arabic so the name can be spelled many different ways) took power in a coup in 1969.
