Libya: Gaddafi promises victory amid ongoing western attacks
On the fourth day of UN-backed military strikes on Libya, leader Moamer Kadhafi promised his supporters victory, saying the country was “ready for battle”.
Meanwhile coalition airstrikes were reported overnight Tuesday near the city of Misrata, east of the capital.
Television footage showed Kadhafi rallying supporters at his Bab Al-Aziziyah compound in Tripoli, which was the target of a coalition missile strike.
Meanwhile rebels said they had been under intense attack in their Misrata enclave, where four children were killed on Tuesday.
