Gaddafi's Son: 'Cameron Wants To Be A Hero'

SKY NEWS: Colonel Gaddafi's son Saif has told Sky News that Prime Minister David Cameron "wants to be a hero" and is "thinking greedily about oil" in Libya.


Speaking to Sky's Lisa Holland, Colonel Gaddafi's most high-profile son derided Mr Cameron and claimed Britain needed "to stop thinking greedily about oil".

He referred to the Prime Minster's response to the Libyan crisis as "a joke" and said "we are not listening to him".

Refusing to accept that the Libyan government has lost control of the east of the country, Saif Gaddafi called the rebels occupying the city of Zawiyah "terrorists" and reiterated his stance that he would live and die in Libya.

Warning countries who could be considering military action, Mr Gaddafi said the use of force against Libya was "not acceptable" but claimed "we are not afraid".

He said the regime's priority was to restore peace and security in Libya. >>> Lisa Holland, in Tripoli and Sarah Gordon | Tuesday, March 01, 2011
