Gaddafi 'determined to fight on'

Muammar Gaddafi is determined to fight his way back to power, his chief spokesman claimed today, as a large convoy of his soldiers apparently deserted into neighbouring Niger.

Moussa Ibrahim insisted Gaddafi was “in excellent health, planning and organising for the defence of Libya.” He told the Syrian TV station al-Rai that both Gaddafi and his sons remain in Libya.
