創(chuàng)新英語-Libya: Gaddafi’s Son Warns of “Rivers of Blo

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's son Seif has warned of “rivers of blood” in a televised statement. He said Libya was in danger of civil war if the pro-democracy protestors did not stop their demonstrations. He told Libyans that his father was too strong to be ousted like the leaders in Tunisia and Egypt. Seif gave a chilly warning to those protesting, saying: "We will fight to the last minute, until the last bullet." He added that if the situation got more out of control, Libyans would have to find a gun to defend themselves. Seif asked Libyans to stop the unrest or there would be “violence worse than Iraq”. He also indicated many more people could lose their lives: “Instead of weeping over 84 dead people, we will weep over hundreds of thousands of dead,” he said.
