Gadhafi calls UN resolution on Libya 'Invalid' as battle begins for Benghazi

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi has sent urgent messages to world leaders Saturday, claiming that his country is fighting al-Qaida and that the United Nations resolution on Libya was invalid. Forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi shelled targets inside the main rebel-held city of Benghazi Saturday as battles intensified in several outer suburbs. In the Libyan capital Tripoli, government spokesman Ibrahim Moussa told reporters that Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi had sent urgent messages to world leaders, including President Barack Obama, calling a UN Security Council resolution on Libya illegal: He says that Mr. Gadhafi wrote that the Libyan people support him and he is ready to die for his people.
