Tripoli, Sept 8 (ANI): Fallen Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has reportedly made a phone call to a local TV station, vowing to defeat the rebels and NATO, as a home video emerges of him playing with his family.
Gaddafi said he was not giving up and that the "resistance against the rats" would be escalated, Sky News reports.
"The youths are now ready to escalate the resistance against the 'rats' (rebels) in Tripoli and to finish off the mercenaries. We will defeat NATO...and NATO is rejected by the Libyan people," Gaddafi said.
His defiant statement came as anti-Gaddafi forces claimed they had surrounded the former Libyan dictator and that it was only a matter of time before he was captured.
Talking about the Libyan military convoy, which French and Niger military sources said showed up in the northern Niger city of Agadez this week, he said that such incidents re nothing exceptional.
"Columns of convoys drive into and out of Niger carrying goods and people inside and outside (of Libya) say Gaddafi is going to Niger. This is not the first time that convoys drive in and out of Niger," he added.
Earlier, a spokesman for Tripoli's new military council had said that Gaddafi would either be captured or killed soon.
"He can't get out. We are just playing games with him," Anis Sharif had claimed. (ANI)
