Ghadafi Threatens Europe; Clinton Responds

Libyan leader Colonel Moammar Ghadafi has threatened to "bring the fight to Europe."  He said that Libya would target civilian and commercial assets unless NATO ceased it's no-fly-zone campaign that paralyzes his military.  This announcement came after France confirmed that it was supplying weapons to the rebel forces and days after the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Gadhafi, his son Saif, and intelligence chief Abdullah al-Sanousii for crimes against humanity, including ordering government soldiers to fire on civilian protesters earlier this year, before the revolution began in earnest.

American Secretary of State Hillary Clinton replied to Gadhafi, saying "Gaddafi should put the well-being and the interests of his own people first and he should step down from power."
