Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has told a crowd of supporters massed in a central Tripoli square to fight back against protesters and “defend the nation”.
Col Gaddafi, wearing a fur cap and sunglasses, was speaking from the ramparts of the Red Castle, a historic fort overlooking Green Square, where over 1,000 of his supporters were massed, waving pictures of him and green flags.
Anti-Gaddafi protests which erupted during Friday were met by gunfire from pro-regime militia.
Col Gaddafi, pumping his fist in the air, told the crowd to “retaliate against them, retaliate against them” and “prepare to defend the nation and defend the oil”.
