NATO to intervene will be a bloodbath, says Gadhafi

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi struck by ground and air positions held by the rebellion in the east of the country and warned that there will be "thousands of deaths" if NATO forces attacked when two U.S. warships entered the Mediterranean. Attacked in eastern Libya, an area controlled by several days, the opposition in Benghazi, the vanguard of the revolt against the regime of Gadhafi, had to resign himself to ask the West to carry out air strikes to continue to exist.

A spokesman for the Libyan opposition called on the UN to authorize air strikes against the forces of Gadhafi. "We call on the United Nations and any international body responsible to (allow) shelling positions and strongholds of the mercenaries," said the spokesperson for the dissidents, Abdelhafiz Hoga in Benghazi, a stronghold of rebellion.

"It's different strategic air attack foreign intervention, which we reject." The opposition, which went from being an insurrectionary movement to form a parallel government, thought until now that foreign intervention could discredit the movement. Since Cairo, the Arab League stated that, despite being opposed to military intervention, would support the imposition of a no-fly zone in Libya to prevent air attacks against civilians.

United States and its European allies are divided on whether NATO's intervention and in particular on the closure of Libyan airspace. "I think we're far from making that decision," said Secretary of State of the American Union, Hillary Clinton. The Libyan leader, aged 68, in power since 1969, in Tripoli told there will be thousands of dead in case of NATO intervention.

"Gadhafi does not have a formal role to resign. Gadhafi is a symbol, "said the Colonel, whose only title is" Guide of the Revolution ", to commemorate the 34th anniversary of the establishment of" State of the Masses "Arab Socialist People to an audience that applauded him. According to the Libyan League for Human Rights, the balance is about six thousand dead.

A group of eight Mexicans, 11 that were expected last night, arrived at the International Airport of Mexico City after he had to leave Libya after the internal revolt. Countrymen arrived from Rome, Italy, via Frankfurt, DLH aboard Flight 498, German airline Lufthansa. Up to press time was expected to come to the other three Mexican Federal District.

In a show of force, a military aircraft fired on the city of Brega (East) that apparently caused no casualties, near a place where people celebrated the failure of a counter-offensive by the forces of Muammar Gadhafi. The missiles, which were aimed at weapons depots, left two craters about 20 meters from the square near the university.

Before the attack, dozens of men gathered in the square, where they claimed to have driven the attackers of this city held by insurgents. After the shooting, the men took shelter and then opened fire with machine guns in the direction of the plane to cries of "Allahu akbar" (God is Great).''I will not leave the country and swear never to the faithful (close to the regime) resist to the last man and last woman,''the Libyan leader Colonel.
