Khaddafi prefers female soldiers. Bulgarian probably because he thought he needed to show the Brits he'd mended fences with Bulgaria over the Bulgarian nurses giving Libyan children AIDS. In Communist times (don't know about now) Bulgaria also had oil interests in North Africa, projects with Algeria specifically.
