| Gaddafi Sends Army to Thwart Any U.S. Invasion |
| 2011-03-02 |
| [Tolo News] President Muammar Qadaffy has deployed forces to a western border region on Tuesday amid fears of US invasion into Libya. 82nd Airborne trembles, decides to go to the movies instead... While dismissing any armed revolt against his government, Libyan leader told US ABC and the BBC on Monday that "All my people love me. They would die to protect me". Following the United States' decision to move warships and air forces to the borders of Libya, Qadaffy's forces arrived in Dehiba southern border crossing on Tuesday and decorated the border post with Libyan flags. Dehiba is 60 kilometers from the town of Nalut and reports suggest that there was no Libyan forces' presence at the border area a day before. Libyan forces were deployed to reassert control of Nalut, 60 km from the Tunisian border in the west, to show that the city is not controlled by anti-Qadaffy protesters. Earlier on Monday the US announced that it was moving ships and planes closer to the country to help Libyan people trapped in the middle of a "humanitarian crisis". But President Qadaffy in a recent interview looked relaxed, laughing and mocking at the uprising. Qadaffy, 68, has run Libya, the biggest oil producing country in Arab world, for more than four decades. Saif al-Islam, the younger son of Qadaffy, has previously warned that his father leading the war would fight until the last man and woman standing. |
