US slams Gaddafi threat to attack Europe
None
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stepped up Western calls on Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi to quit on Saturday, brushing off his threat to attack Europeans in their homes and offices.
In a telephone address relayed to some 100,000 supporters in Tripoli's Green Square on Friday, Gaddafi urged NATO to halt its bombing campaign or risk seeing Libyan fighters descend on Europe "like a swarm of locusts or bees". "Retreat, you have no chance of beating this brave people," Gaddafi said in his address. (Reuters)
