Gadhafi threatens to''holy war''with Al Qaeda

Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi said he felt betrayed by their former European allies and warned that if the West attacks his country could join forces with the Al Qaeda to declare a holy war. " In interviews with European media from Tripoli, the Libyan colonel reiterated its position on the popular uprising faced since last February 16 and has tried to repress, provoking international condemnation and sanctions.

Although it is increasingly isolated and that the international community looks at several military options, Gadhafi rejected again negotiate with the rebels in his country, whom he described as terrorists "linked to Al Qaeda." Rebel leaders are "hostages" of Al Qaeda and dialogue with them "is not possible.

They have no hope, their cause is lost. They only have two choices: surrender or flee, "he said accusing them of using civilians as human shields. Gadhafi said its troops will continue their siege of the rebel strongholds, including the cities of Misurata and Benghazi because "there are people on my side." Our war is against Al Qaeda, but if the West is behaving like they did us in Iraq, Libya will leave the international alliance against terrorism, he joins forces with Al Qaeda and declared a holy war, "reiterated the colonel of 69 years.

Meanwhile, the Security Council of the UN (United Nations) remained divided on the request of the Arab League to establish a no-fly zone in Libya to prevent the shelling of the rebels opposed to the regime of Gadhafi. In the absence of agreement, the fifteen members of the highest security today decided to continue negotiations on the draft resolution submitted by Lebanon, in collaboration with France and the UK.

The document authorizes the creation of the no-fly zone and reinforces the sanctions imposed on Libya last month, including an arms embargo and economic sanctions against its top leaders. "We're making progress, today (yesterday) we present a text and we were legitimate questions. All countries were willing to help, so tomorrow we will start negotiating the text, "said the French ambassador to the UN, Gerard Araud, the end of the meeting of the Security Council.

The Russian ambassador, Vitaly Churkin, declined to answer whether they had cleared his doubts on Monday about who and how they would implement the exclusion zone. For its part, the German ambassador, Peter Wittig, explained that the meeting also put questions to the proponents of the resolution that said: "We believe that we are not completely answered." "There are commonalities in the G8 ...

there is a common desire to increase pressure on the leader Moammar Gadhafi" William Hague, British Foreign Minister. "Western interventions will make the situation worse (in Libya). We experience Iraq and Afghanistan, things have gotten worse "Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, president of Iran.
