Search web search Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Weekend Edition Africa Europe Latin America Middle East North America Kadhafi rants at 'Al-Qaeda inspired' revolt AFP - Saturday, February 26 Send IM Story Print BENGHAZI, Libya (AFP) - – Libya's Moamer Kadhafi blamed drug-addled Al-Qaeda followers for a fast-spreading uprising, as outraged Western allies crafted a joint response to the crisis in the oil-rich state. Eastern Libya has fallen to opposition control and other areas into anarchy, residents and reporters said, as opponents of the mercurial leader vowed to march on the capital Tripoli and topple his four-decade-old regime. Leading an international outcry over a Libyan death toll now running into the hundreds, US President Barack Obama consulted the leaders of Britain, France and Italy on how to "immediately" respond to Kadhafi's brutal crackdown. France and Britain have proposed the UN Security Council pass a resolution calling for sanctions and a total arms embargo against Libya, French Foreign Minister Michele Alliot-Marie said Friday. Related article:World leaders seek action against Kadhafi She also said they would propose bringing Libya before the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. "The situation is very serious, it is absolutely necessary that the ICC is also involved, it can give a very strong signal," she said, adding that there have been "several hundred deaths" in the Libyan regime's bloody crackdown although it is not possible to give a precise death toll. Meanwhile NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen called Friday for an emergency alliance meeting on Libya and said it was ready to act as "an enabler and coordinator" if member states take action. "I have called for an emergency meeting in the North Atlantic Council today to discuss Libya," Rasmussen wrote on his Twitter account, referring to the alliance's political decision-making body. "The situation in Libya is of great concern. NATO can act as an enabler and coordinator if and when member states will take action," he wrote ahead of a meeting with EU defence ministers in Godollo, Hungary. The Security Council is expected to meet Friday at 2000 GMT, the minister said on French public radio. Tens of thousands of foreigners are clamouring to flee the chaos in Libya as foreign governments lay on a mammoth evacuation operation, and the crisis has driven oil prices to two-year highs in a new threat to the global economy. Kadhafi addressed his divided nation Thursday for the second time in three days, as his forces fought a bloody rearguard action against rebels advancing on Az-Zawiyah, just 50 kilometres (30 miles) west of Tripoli. Kadhafi, 68, accused Az-Zawiyah residents of siding with Al-Qaeda, and said the insurrection was driven by "trigger-happy" youths "stoned with drugs" supplied by Osama bin Laden's network. "It is obvious now that this issue is run by Al-Qaeda," he said, addressing the town's elders in a rambling 20-minute telephoned speech relayed on state television. But striking a more conciliatory tone than in his last speech on Tuesday, Kadhafi said the "situation is different from Egypt or Tunisia... Here the authority is in your hands, the people's hands". Libyan daily Quryna said 23 people were killed and 44 wounded when pro-government forces attacked Az-Zawiyah on Thursday. Quoting its correspondent there, the Benghazi-based Quryna said "the wounded cannot reach the hospitals because of shots being fired in all directions". Foreigners told of hellish scenes in Tripoli as they fled the chaos, with countries worldwide sending planes and warships in a desperate bid to evacuate their nationals. Related article:Frightened foreigners flee Libya 'hell' "Libya is descending into hell," Helena Sheehan, 66, said after she arrived in London aboard a specially chartered British rescue flight. "The airport is like nothing I've ever seen in my whole life. It's absolute chaos. There's just thousands and thousands of people trying to get out." The International Organisation for Migration said that more than 30,000 Egyptian and Tunisian migrant workers had fled Libya since Monday and that it was on standby to help tens of thousands more. Much of the Arab world is in revolt, following the implosion of regimes in Egypt and Tunisia. Demonstrators mobilising online and on the streets in Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan and Yemen all called for new mass protests on Friday. In Yemen, thousands of demonstrators vowed to keep protesting after government loyalists shot dead two of them, as deep fissures appeared in President Ali Abdullah Saleh's regime. Saleh, a key ally in the US "war on terror", ordered his security forces to offer "full protection" to his opponents and supporters alike, state media said. Jordan's powerful Islamist opposition was also preparing a "day of anger" on Friday to demand reforms, in what they hope will be the largest protest since anti-government demonstrations began in January. Algeria meanwhile lifted its state of emergency after 19 years following unprecedented protests last month that threatened President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's decades-old regime. In Bahrain, Shiite clerics called for more demonstrations on Friday in a day of mourning for seven protesters killed in a crackdown by police a week ago, urging protesters again to march en masse to Manama's Pearl Square.
