TRIPOLI , Libya (AP) — Libyan TV has broadcast what it said was a brief live address by ruler Moammar Gadhafi before supporters at his encampment near Tripoli, the Libyan capital.
It would be his first public appearance in a week,
Gadhafi was shown standing on a balcony before a crowd of supporters. Denouncing the coalition bombing attacks on his forces, he told them, “in the short term, we’ll beat them, in the long term, we’ll beat them.”
The state TV said Gadhafi was speaking from his Bab Al-Aziziya residential compound, the same one hit by a cruise missile Sunday night.
