United Nations, Sep 24 - Libya's maverick leader Moammar Gadhafi made his debut appearance at the United Nations with a long and rambling diatribe stepping on quite a few toes including India's as he uttered the 'K' word.

The Libyan leader was introduced as 'king of kings' by his countryman Ali Terki, the president of this year's UN General Assembly, at its annual session Wednesday.

Then, dressed in his familiar black beret and sweeping his flowing brown Bedouin robe behind him, the notoriously charismatic leader strode to the stage with a yellow folder and a copy of the UN charter.

For the next 96 minutes, he talked. He tossed the K bomb at New Delhi saying Kashmir should be an independent buffer state between India and Pakistan. At one point, he even blamed India and Japan for robbing Somalia of its fishing wealth, forcing Somalis to take up piracy.

His other topics ranged from the UN Security Council to the assassination of US president John F. Kennedy to a one-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians: Isratine.
