Col. Gaddafi says 'let Libya burn'

The hunt is still on for former Libyan leader Col. Gaddafi

A Libyan woman reads a copy of the newly-issued daily newspaper Arus al-Bahr (Mermaid), which shows a picture of Col. Gaddafi dressed as a woman in traditional outfit. It is thought that Col. Gaddafi may have escaped the country dressed as a woman or may have hidden in a Libyan military convoy crossing into neighbouring Niger. 

Rebel fighters, who are trying to bring down Col. Gaddafi and his regime, now control most of the country, including the Libyan capital Tripoli. They are being helped by countries including Britain, France and America.

The British Prime Minister David Cameron said that the world would be better off without Gaddafi.

Col. Gaddafi, who has been leader for 42 years, has vowed to fight on and ‘let Libya burn.’

    gaddafi should be brought to justice after ordering snipers to 'kill anything that moves' and for ordering soldiers to throw grenades into cramped prisoner of war sheds
