The embattled leader says Libyan forces will target European "homes, offices, and families" in a series of attacks like "locusts and bees".
His message comes after France confirmed it had supplied weapons to anti-government rebels, delivering arms to Berber tribal fighters near the capital Tripoli.
""So we advise you to back-track before you face a catastrophe.".
The crowds, waving green flags and carrying portraits of Mr Gaddafi, chanted slogans of allegiance to "God, Gaddafi and Libya," while some fired guns into the air in celebration as the night sky was lit by fireworks.
"If we decide to do so, we are capable of throwing ourselves on Europe like swarms of locusts or bees.
Several loud explosions, presumed to be NATO air strikes, were heard in Tripoli hours after Mr Gaddafi made his comments.
The Tripoli-based government of Muammar Gaddafi refers to the Libyan state as the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya.[5][6] It controls most of the western half of the country.
Libya has the highest HDI in Africa and the fourth highest GDP (PPP) per capita in Africa as of 2009, behind Seychelles, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. These are largely due to its large petroleum reserves and low population.[10][11] Libya has the 10th-largest proven oil reserves of any country in the world and the 17th-highest petroleum production.

They want Gadaffi Dead but he did nothing compared to Syria and they haven't even taken action against Syria
The U.S is extremely hypocritical
I hope Gadaffi gets his payback

It's an interesting phenomena on ATS that people decide that Gadaffi is some kind of saint, because he finds himself at odds with Western Powers.

I suspect you mean NATO, and not the US, right?
Are you saying, then, you think NATO should attack Syria?
I hope Gadaffi gets his payback
So you're rooting for Gadaffi? Even as he murders his own population? I dont support this NATO action. But to claim Gadaffi is innocent is odd.

I think the world needs to get rid of Gaddafi sooner then later. It is a shame that they have let this go on for as long as they have.

I could think of a few people the world would be better without.. and Gaddafi isn't in the top 1000. So your point is a moo one.
