Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has pledged to remain in his 'land dead or alive' after a number of low-flying North Atlantic Treaty Organisation's jets attacked his compound. Gaddafi made his comments in a televised broadcast to criticise the attack. His whereabouts are not known. "We will not surrender: we only have one choice -- to the end! Death, victory, it does not matter, we are not surrendering," the paper quoted Gaddafi as saying.
