Moammar Gadhafi Says Libyans Will Fight Against No-Fly Zone

Gadhafi says Libyans will fight if a no-fly zone is imposed by Western nations, saying that would show their real intention is to seize the country's oil.

Gadhafi made his remarks during an interview aired Wednesday by Turkey's state-run TRT Turk television. The interview was conducted on Tuesday night.

He was responding to U.S. and British plans for a response to Libya, including imposing a no-fly zone to prevent Gadhafi's warplanes from striking rebels.

Moammar Gadhafi claimed such a move would lead Libyans to understand the foreigners' aims to seize oil and take their freedoms away.

He says if that happens, Libyans will take up arms and fight.
