Huge Rally In Tripoli As Gaddafi Warns Europe

Tens of thousands of supporters of Colonel Gaddafi have gathered in Tripoli as the Libyan leader warned his forces could strike in Europe.

Sky sources say 12 loud explosions have been reported in the capital since Col Gaddafi's address, in which he vowed to stay in power and called on Nato to stop its bombing campaign or face "catastrophe".
Guns were fired in the air after the tirade was broadcast to huge crowds in Green Square.
Sky's Lisa Holland, who is reporting from Tripoli under the supervision of Libyan authorities, said it was one of the biggest turnouts in the capital for some time.
She said: "Col Gaddafi said homes, offices and families would become legitimate targets.
"He said, 'We are able to move to Europe like locusts. We advise you to retreat before you are dealt a disaster'."

Col Gaddafi's troops have withstood nearly four months of bombardment by Nato missiles and war planes, acting under a UN resolution aimed at stopping the leader from attacking civilians.
His troops have also been up against numerous attempts by rebels to break through their lines.
Anti-Gaddafi fighters who had advanced to within 50 miles (80km) of the capital were forced to retreat earlier on Friday after coming under a barrage of rocket fire from government forces.
The rebels' advance in recent days had raised the possibility of a breakthrough in the conflict, the bloodiest of the Arab Spring uprisings.

Meanwhile, Libyan state television reported that Nato had bombed military and civilian sites in Garyan, in the Western Mountains, on Friday. Nato said it had destroyed a military target in the town "well outside" residential areas.
And Gaddafi's daughter, Aisha, said in a television interview broadcast late on Thursday her father's administration was prepared to cut a deal with the rebels if that was what it took to stop the bloodshed.
But Col Gaddafi's audio address to supporters in Green Square dismissed the rebels as "traitors".
