Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi announced that government forces attack on Thursday night the city of Benghazi, a stronghold of the rebellion located a thousand kilometers from the capital, in a televised message. "The decision has been taken. Get ready, we got tonight, "he said in a speech to the inhabitants of the city.
"We will expel the traitors from Benghazi," he added. Moammar Gadhafi's regime, in power for almost 42 years, lives a revolt not seen since mid-February. Benghazi is the headquarters of the National Transition Council, the governing body built by the insurgents. While the Committee on Safety of United Nations prepares to vote this afternoon (16:00 hours Mexico City time) a resolution authorizing the use of force in Libya to protect civilians and stop the Allied forces Gadhafi .
If Gadhafi will come to take power in Benghazi would be virtually eliminated the unprecedented revolt against the regime that began in mid-February in the country in the wake of Tunisia and Egypt. Gadhafi launched a counteroffensive in recent days to regain the cities that were conquered by the insurgents, well implanted in the eastern part of the country.
Government forces are "the doors" of Benghazi, had indicated the Libyan state television.
