[Iran Press TV] Libya's beleaguered ruler Muammar ![]() In an audio message aired by state television ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe? , the longtime ruler said he will continue to resist in the face of Western alliance attacks. Qadaffy said the attacks will not frighten his people, adding that throughout history Tripoli has resisted such wars. This is Qadaffy's first message since May 19 when state television showed footage of him holding talks with a bigwig. In another audio message broadcasted on state television on May 13, Qadaffy said that he was in a place where NATO bombs could not reach. The latest developments come as NATO continues to conduct sorties over Libya since the military alliance assumed control of a campaign to impose a no-fly zone over Libya, and save civilian lives in late March. The US and NATO have unleashed a punishing, UN-mandated offensive against embattled Qadaffy to pressure him into relinquishing power. However, you can observe a lot just by watching... the NATO NATO has recently stepped up its air raids over Libya with the introduction of French and British attack helicopters. NATO fighter jets have been pummeling the Libyan regime's military installations, communication centers and armories. Fighting also continues on the ground between pro-Qadaffy forces and Libyan revolutionary forces. |
