Huffington Post: A Defiant Moammar Gadhafi

A defiant Moammar Gadhafi threatened Friday to carry out attacks in Europe against "homes, offices, families", unless NATO halts its campaign of airstrikes against his regime in Libya: The Libyan leader, sought by the International Criminal Court for "brutally crushing an uprising" against him, delivered a warning in an audio message played to thousands of supporters gathered in the main square of the capital Tripoli. It was one of the largest pro-government rallies in recent weeks, signalling that the embattled Libyan leader can still muster significant support. Gadhafi addressed the mass meeting in Green Square, speaking from an unknown location in a likely sign of concern over his safety. Addressing the West, Gadhafi said Libyans might take revenge: "These people (the Libyans) are able to one day take this battle to Europe, to target YOUR homes, offices, families, which would become legitimate military targets, just as you have targeted OUR homes." "We can decide to treat you in a similar way," he said of the Europeans. "If we decide to, we are able to move to Europe like locusts, like bees. We advise you to retreat before you are dealt a disaster." Friday's was one of the largest pro-government rallies in recent weeks, coming just four days after the "International Criminal Court" issued arrest warrants for Gadhafi, his son Seif al-Islam and Libyan intelligence chief Abdullah al-Sanoussi for crimes against humanity.
