Excerpt
JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour): On a day in part devoted to planning for a post-Gadhafi Libya, the story took another turn with the apparent reappearance of the longtime leader.
Lindsey Hilsum of Independent Television News begins our coverage.
LINDSEY HILSUM: Cockpit video from an RAF strike on a barracks at Bani Walid. That's where Gadhafi's closest associates, and maybe the man himself, are thought to be.
He popped up in message form on Syrian television.
MOAMMAR GADHAFI, Libyan leader (through translator): Everything you here is lies. Don't believe it. Fight it with guns. Fight it with bullets. Let bullets speak on behalf of the Libyan people. If they want to enter into a long war with us, let it be so.
ABDEL HAKIM BELHADJ, military council (through translator): We are listening to these nonsensical comments which we consider to be those of a dead man dancing. The collapsing former regime has neither power nor any forces anymore.
