The Russian head of world chess says Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi told him in a telephone call that he was in Tripoli and did not intend to leave the country despite an onslaught by rebels.
“I am alive and healthy, I am in Tripoli and do not intend to leave Libya. Do not believe the lying reports by Western television companies,” Kirsan Ilyumzhinov quoted Gaddafi as saying in the conversation on Tuesday.
Mohammed Gaddafi said that forces loyal to his father were now “beating the rats out of the city”, claiming that the fight was against “NATO forces and their mercenaries” rather than Libyan rebels.
“I want to express thanks to everyone in the world who feels for the people of Libya. I am sure that we will be victorious,” Gaddafi said, according to Ilyumzhinov, who spoke to the Interfax news agency.
