Tripoli: Libyan leader
Muammar Gaddafi has vowed to fight till death against the military
strikes in his country. The state TV aired an audio message by
Gaddafi where he called on his supporters to flock to his
residence in Tripoli, Xinhua reported.
The message came immediately after there were reports of a huge
fire in Gaddafi's Bab al-Aziziya residential compound.
Gaddafi's compound was targeted several times by NATO Tuesday.
The compound was under "intensive continuous bombardment", state
TV reported, adding that many buildings in the area were destroyed
in the strikes.
The US, Britain and France started March 19 strikes from the air
and sea against Gaddafi's forces after the UN Security Council
passed a resolution to impose a no-fly zone over Libya and
authorise "all necessary measures" to protect civilians in Libya.
NATO formally took over full command and control of military
operations against Libya March 31.
