Libyan
leader Gaddafi threatens to attack Europe

Moscow: Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has threatened Europe with
retaliation for a NATO-led military campaign, saying he will send
hundreds of soldiers to launch attacks there.
"Hundreds of Libyans will martyr in Europe," Gaddafi Friday told a
multi-thousand-strong crowd in Sabha, some 500 miles south of
capital Tripoli in a speech shown on national television, adding
NATO will regret "when the war moves to Europe".
The threat came as insurgents suffered casualties Friday after a
massive attack by NATO aircraft.
Gaddafi pledged to use the "eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth"
principle, adding that he and his supporters were ready to "become
martyrs and fight until the end."
Libya has been rocked by fighting between pro- and anti-Gaddafi
forces since mid-February.
An international military operation in Libya began March 19,
following a UN resolution authorising countries "to take all
necessary measures" to help protect Libyan civilians from attacks
by Gaddafi forces, and was extended until late September.
On July 2, Gaddafi had warned of attacks in Europe unless NATO
stops its air strikes against key facilities in the North African
country.
