Gaddafi defiant after new airstrikes

Libya’s besieged leader, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, promised a 'long war' in the country after new attacks from UN air forces imposing a no-fly zone took their toll on his military. 

The UN looked to disable air-defences and to fight back Gaddafi’s men who were pushing towards rebel strongholds in the cities of Benghazi and Misrata. 

Libyan television showed footage and claimed that there were 48 deaths and 150 injuries because of the assault. Those figures have been disputed by the UK government. 

Despite the strong action from the UN, Gaddafi has not retracted at all, vowing to arm the whole country in order to rid them of 'traitors'. 

It seems the war is only beginning.
