TRIPOLI – Muammar Gadafy threatened yesterday to send hundreds of Libyans to launch attacks in Europe in revenge for the Nato-led military campaign against him.

Hundreds of Libyans will martyr in Europe. I told you it is eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth. But we will give them a chance to come to their senses, the Libyan leader said in an audio speech carried on Libyan television.

Gadafy, whose forces have been battling rebels encroaching on his territory and Nato warplanes, was speaking in the desert town of Sabha, about 800km south of Tripoli. – (Reuters)
