| Gadhafi threatens attacks in Europe if NATO air war continues |
| 2011-07-01 |
| Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi threatens attacks in Europe if NATO continues its air campaign against his forces. Gadhafi issued the warning in an address by telephone that was played to thousands of supporters in Tripoli's main square, the Associated Press reports. The Libyan leader says that if NATO doesn't end its attacks, "we can decide to treat you in a similar way." NATO began its airstrikes in March after a popular uprising turned into a civil war. "If we decide, we can also move it (the fight) to Europe," Gadhafi said. "We advise you to retreat before you face a catastrophe," Gadhafi said before a flag-waving crowd, Reuters reports. "I advise you to ground your planes ... and to hold discussions with the Libyan people," Gadhafi said. |

| #5 Colonel Khadaffy's last severals attacks involved downing passenger airplanes. I suspect that, or a land-based terror attack, are what the peacock colonel had in mind. |
