Gaddafi: We won't surrender again; we are not women

Muammar Gaddafi warned from hiding Thursday that tribes loyal to him were well-armed and preparing for battle, hours after rebels hoping for a peaceful surrender extended the deadline for loyalist forces to give up in the longtime Libyan leader's hometown.

Gaddafi's audio statement, broadcast by Syrian-based Al-Rai TV, came as the rebels said they were closing in on the former dictator. "We won't surrender again; we are not women, we will keep fighting," Gaddafi said. (AP)
