Moammar Gadhafi: 'My People Love Me'

February 28, 2011

/*Gadafi*/ told Amanpour that he could not step down because he is not a president or a king. He also denied there were demonstrations against him in /*Libya*/, saying, "My people love me. They would die for me."

The embattled Libyan dictator said he invites the United Nations to come to Libya and do a "fact finding mission". He also questioned how they could freeze assets, impose sanctions and implement a travel ban based purely on media reports.

He said he would not be leaving Libya, and said force has not been used against his people, denying reports that aerial bombardments had been used against protesters.
