Gaddafi compares himself to Queen Elizabeth II
In his telephone interview with Libyan state TV Colonel Gaddafi compared himself to none other than our Queen Elisabeth II, saying that she had reign longer than he had and had still not been overthrown. He also said that just like the Queen he has no power to rule.
In his usually rambling and erratic ways his speech made little sense.
Gaddafi offered his condolences to those who had died in the unrest, calling them "Libya's children".
He added that those who had been protesting were on "hallucinogenic drugs".
He also said that what's happening in Libya is "not people's power but international terrorism in action".
He told families of protesters that their children are being "duped" by supporters of Bin Laden.
Several people have also been killed by pro-Gaddafi forces near the town of Misratah, as violent protests continue to spread.
A witness, who only wanted to be identified as Mohamed, said a unit of paramilitary forces controlled by one of Gaddafi's sons, Khamis, attacked near Misratah airport.
Meanwhile, Moammur Gaddafi's son, Seif al-Islam Gaddafi, has denied the government launched airstrikes against Libyan cities.
He also claimed reports of the number of protesters killed have been exaggerated.
