Libyan rebels told: Surrender or run away

LIBYAN dictator Muammar Gaddafi unleashed an overwhelming array of firepower on rebels as he warned them to “surrender or run away”.

Airstrikes and bombardments from warships, tanks and artillery were used as he tried for the first time to take back a city in the opposition’s heartland of eastern Libya.

Rebel fighters rushed to the front as mosques in Ajdabiya broadcast pleas for help to defend the city.
