Gaddafi Rules Out Talks With Rebels 
------------------------------------



Libyan leader Col. Muammar Gaddafi has ruled out talks with rebels
amidst ongoing clashes. In remarks broadcast to a crowd of thousands of
supporters, Gaddafi said there will be negotiations with rebel forces
until "Judgment Day." Gaddafi's troops are locked in fierce clashes with
rebels east of the capital Tripoli, with rebels claiming to have
captured a top pro-Gaddafi commander. NATO, meanwhile, is being accused
of killing civilians in the city of Zlitan. On Thursday, foreign
journalists were shown civilian sites allegedly hit by NATO bombs. A
wounded Libyan man said a family of civilians was killed when NATO
bombed their home.

Resident: "It was a civilian site ... the whole family passed away, they
didn't die after the first air strike but died after the second one, it
was a two story building."
